Read MoreEven as a kid, the only time that I remember having felt excluded is that one time in elementary school, a school for gifted kids when the teacher asked all the « white » kids to stand up. I looked at my skin and stood up. She then approached me very gently and asked me to sit down…

They all decided to give it a try. I learned to direct on the spot and took over the entire project. But first, we needed a plan…
