тАЬWell, itтАЩs been complicated and painful as I think itтАЩs been for everybody, for different reasons and in different ways,тАЭ Britton said.
тАЬFor me, I am going through my own reckoning of the privilege that IтАЩve been raised with and grown up in, and have been able to create my life in,тАЭ she continued. тАЬAt the same time, IтАЩm raising a Black boy in America and at the end of the day, heтАЩs my son. I will fight to the end for him. And so we тАж for me, I have to learn as much as I can, educate him as much as I can about not only where heтАЩs from and who he is. And weтАЩve done that from Day 1, but also help him understand whatтАЩs happening in the world.тАЭ
