About this listen

Sabrina was born to a Black woman and a White Man, but immediately placed for adoption. Her White adoptive mother made it easy for her to not have a "good" experience. Abused and neglected, she found herself being bounced around from state to state and from one troubled teen home to another. From being called a "Nigger" to Suzie Q", she felt no love or safe space in the home where she was raised.
