In her book she says Ana was very mean to her when she first started till one day Ana heard Sunny speak Spanish to Jlo’s mother at the View which shocked Ana. She began to have a friendship with Sunny so it’s interesting to see Ana bring up Sunny teaching her about race.

She is so right about colourism in the Latino community...preach it Sunny!

She is such a beautiful, intelligent and prolific woman. Great interview!

This was such a strong interview, you can tell you gave her such comfort to tell her story, that's a great skill. When she spoke on the differences between the black and latino community that was SO important. A lot of times we feel like the black community is so split, and it's important to speak about the ways we are united, from someone who's experienced both. Thats not saying the black community doesn't have work to do with colorism etc...

Sonny is mixed race

Yes! I've always felt this. Ilive in the Netherlands and as a black woman they always want to know where I am from because there are black people from African countries, South America and the Caribbean. If you're Black American or another wealthy country then they treat you better. People often do this: categorize you.

Thank you sunny for being so honest about the colorism in the Hispanic community. I moved to NYC 10 years ago and it's so interesting that NYC has so many Spanish speaking people of African descent but look down on other Caribbean and ppl from the African diaspora .especially Puerto Rican and Dominican ppl. They identify with their colonizers..."they are Spanish" but we are not considered "English". It never made sense to me. I was always confused bc I grew up in the south and didn't experience as much racism from white ppl than from Hispanics (both afro Latin , euro presenting or indigenous)now that I live in NYC. , although many look exactly like me. I'm also Caribbeanand and also biracial. You def help me find more understanding on this. Love you're transparency on everything.

I have learned to like her from this interview, and now I'm going to have to order her book. She definitely speaks to me and for me. So much of her story mirrors my own. It's incredibly difficult to grow up biracial. Especially when you're of the age when you had to pick one. The colorism.is real in the Hispanic community. I identify as Black because it was the race that was most influential in my life but it was also the race that was most accepting of me as a person. There are some who assume that I think I'm cute because I am light skinned, but overall it's the community who doesn't care. We come in all colors of the rainbow and I am always so comfortable because we speak the same language. Not a spoken language but the language of our hearts is the same.
