🍊 Oranges, Valencia & My First Contrast in Spain 🍊
Valencia, the land of sun, sea, and oranges. But my first taste of Spain wasn’t just about citrus—it was about contrast.
It was 1982, I woke up in my new home, only to find my bed surrounded by curious white faces. Eyes wide, staring, at the first Black person they had ever seen. In that moment, I realized that life is a fusion of contrasts—new vs. familiar, tradition vs. change, seen vs. unseen.
Much like the orange, brought to Spain centuries ago, blending into its culture yet remaining distinct.
Diversity shapes us. It challenges, surprises, and enriches us.
