To Dance or Not to Dance? A Mother’s Question

To Dance or Not to Dance? A Mother’s Question

What hubris, to think I can avoid signing my white daughter up for society’s lessons on how women should view their bodies. Eva’s cage already has more space between the bars than some. I can keep her out of dance studios, maybe, but I cannot keep her from middle-school locker rooms, or Snapchat. The trap is sprung.
