Being black but not African American in the US

Kirk grew up in Florida from Jamaican parents. As a child and then a teenager it was a bit complicated for him. He was not recognized as  African American by African American kids  but was seen as one by other kids. He had to learn how to navigate different groups and be accepted. Today  he considers the skills he acquired along the way to have been essential to his success as an adult.
