I was always the black sheep of the family and always told that I was dumb, and I had a low IQ and did badly in school.
I always believed I was an ugly duckling in a family of swans, you know? I was such a black sheep, and it was the same way in high school... I was just kind of that awkward theater kid with a bunch of athletes... it was very 'Glee.'
I dug the idea that I was being perceived as the black sheep of my family, but for me, it was like, I was a rebel, and that to me was most important.
To rally every black sheep is my goal.
I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism.
