In the Caribbean, a ‘Dougla’ is a person of mixed East Indian and Black descent. Grandma was from the US Virgin Islands. Grandad was from south India by way of Suriname. I am living proof of the greatness that people can achieve when they put aside their differences.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
