00:00
I was so young, feeling so isolated and so confused as to why they were excluding me and treating me differently.
00:24
I was a young boy, just trying to comprehend what was happening.
00:28
I knew it was wrong, I knew he was wrong.
00:30
Am I ready for this? How am I going to provide?
00:34
I couldn't explain how I was feeling in that moment, apprehensive and nervous, worried that I wouldn't be enough.
00:42
It was the greatest pain and sadness I have ever felt.
00:45
In the space of three days, we had experienced the highest high and the lowest low.
00:51
Singled out simply because of the colour of my skin.
00:54
I knew this wasn't how you treat women.
00:56
I was 18 year old and I was going to be a father.
01:00
The day my daughter was born was the happiest and most proud I have felt in my life.
01:05
Less than 48 hours later, my mother sadly passed away after her 18th month battle with cancer.
01:12
I've always been proud of who I am and where I came from. Nothing anyone can say can change that.
01:18
But I wouldn't change nothing for the world. I am a provider.
01:22
I had a reason to carry on when it could have been so easy to stop.
01:26
Your doctor was a child and I was born in the middle of prayer.
01:29
And I was waiting for women for a long time to have been so easy to break down.
01:32
And I was trying to get it out.
01:35
I couldn't do anything to make any sense.
01:38
Although that was not as difficult as possible, I was trying to throw it out.
01:43
But I was trying to keep my heart.
