During my lunch hour I went to H&M to see if there was anything to tickle my fancy there. As I’m waiting to pay on line, a mother and her daughter (both White) are on line in front of me. The little girl was holding a baby doll that was Black. The cashier, making small talk with the little girl, asks pointing at the doll “and who’s this little person?” The little girl, around age 4 or 5, responds “that’s my baby”. The cashier then says “well you and your baby are beautiful but you two look so different?” And the little girl responds “but mommy says that we look just the same in here” *she points to her heart*

Needless to say this put a smile on the face of everyone who heard her answer, including me. Kudos to you little girl for reminding us what’s truly important and kudos to your mom for teaching you such a wonderful value. Sometimes the biggest lessons come from the smallest people.

Take the lesson and pass it forward. Have a great weekend everyone.
