32. Out of LOVE for my family, I’ve never gone public with my racial story because it’s hurtful, scandalous, and it’s MY STORY.

30. I did not concoct a lie about my race to get into @Morehouse. I did not concoct a lie about my race to get an @Oprah scholarship.

28. Some of the problem here, is that MOST of you (friend & foe alike) have only known me since the day Mike Brown was killed.

22. Every mentor and coach and advisor I have, without fail, has told me NOT to respond to any of this. For weeks I’ve ignored it all.

18. I’ve had 3 major spinal surgeries b/c of the assault. @DeacTheVillain was my best friend through ’em all. More surgeries since then.
