Genesis takes steps through her life with the aim of progressing with a life lasting condition. Vitiligo. Despite more awareness and acceptance among people in society today....  Genesis battles with her own insecurities and barriers of silent judgement from the world. 
She finds comfort in love offered by the opposite sex. 
Silence and self processing, however, is the most preferred option.

"I have raised her on my own..... I have kept her close to me..... Trying my best to cover her from my own guilt of her insecurities really. The thing is everyone puts on this smile that spells pity...... On my baby..... my daughter..... She's so beautiful and I'd have failed so tremendously as a mother if she had to explain that to anybody. "........ 


"She's just like every other child Crystal, " my mother continued to tell me, "Why do you let these little scenarios she has at her school bother you? "... 


I wasn't looking for a pointless back and forth talk with my mum about my daughter, so I said nothing at all. 


"Genesis is a beautiful child and I know you see it baby. "My mother continued to say. 


There was no changing my mind on this one, I loved my mum.... My family and my friends, they made Genesis feel free and secure. But my baby won't live in these big towns of discrimination. 


"We're moving to the little neighborhood that you and dad raised me and that's that. "I said without looking at my mum for any confirmation. 


"I know this is more of a you problem and not Genesis. "My mother finally blurted out. 


"YES IT IS MUM! "I shouted out. "I CAN'T CONTINUE HEARING THESE STORIES SHE COMES BACK WITH FROM SCHOOL, "I paused holding my breathe trying not to cry, "MY BABY IS CALLED NAMES AT SCHOOL..... SHE HAS THE WHOLE DC STARING AND TALKING WHEN SHE WALKS BY THESE STREETS! " 


My mother knew not to say anything because even she heard and noticed what Genesis was objected to. We just sat in silence after that... Both in thought. 


"You have my blessing. "My mother finally said. "But can you wait a year at least, I love having you two here and I'm not ready to be lonely just yet." She added and I understood. 


I was relieved even though I didn't particularly show it. Going against my mother always ends in disaster, so I'm glad she's finally realized that this is for the best. 


We left in the year 2005. I got a big job in new York and this fact covered the real reason we left. Additionally my daughter cracked...... She didn't stand up to her bullies but she surely showed them because that year... My daughter left DC with a felony at her hands.
