Naga explained how she first encountered racism when she was seven years old, with the experience sticking with her ever since.
“I experienced racism,” she said. “You never forget the first time you hear that painful, nerve-wracking word. I was seven when someone I thought was a friend at school told me we couldn’t hang out together anymore. .
“They used the p-word, making it clear that the reason was because of the color of my skin. The feeling of shame was overwhelming.
“I was told I didn’t belong when until then I assumed I did. From that moment, I knew that I was considered different. That first hurt never goes away.
