After years of struggling to have a child, my husband and I were finally blessed with a baby boy. But one of his coworkers had the audacity to mock my husband, spread disgusting lies about me, and turn my newborn son into office gossip. He thought he got away with it… but I put him in his place.
I gazed down at my baby son’s perfect face as he slept peacefully in his crib. After five years of trying, multiple miscarriages, and countless doctors’ appointments, Elijah was finally here…
His skin was lighter than mine or Oscar’s, even though we were both Black. But I knew that was completely normal for Black newborns, and I couldn’t help tracing my finger gently over his cheek, marveling at how perfect he was.
