Uncoloured Views
*Jane Doe sat glued to the television, her heart pounding as the news anchor discussed the 'coloured' controversy surrounding singer Tyla. The term 'coloured' was like a dagger to her soul, reopening old wounds that had never truly healed. Growing up in Springdale, Texas, Jane had faced relentless teasing and discrimination due to her mixed heritage. The taunts of 'coloured girl' had left indelible scars, eroding her self-worth and sense of belonging. Even as an adult, she found herself grappling with the lingering effects of those traumatic experiences. The news article triggered a flood of emotions, prompting Jane to confront her past head-on. She stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman Hollis website, and something within her stirred. The program promised a path to self-discovery and healing, and Jane knew she had to seize this opportunity. 'I've spent too long living in the shadows of my past,' Jane confided to her best friend, *Sarah. 'It's time to reclaim my identity and find peace.' While some experts lauded the program's holistic approach to personal growth, others raised concerns about the efficacy of online therapy. 'There's no substitute for face-to-face interactions,' argued one psychologist. 'Online programs can be a helpful supplement, but they shouldn't replace traditional counseling.' However, for Jane, the accessibility and anonymity of the online program were game-changers. 'I can explore my deepest fears and insecurities without judgment,' she mused. 'It's a safe space to heal.' As Jane embarked on her journey with the Stepping Into Action program, she found solace in the words of a fellow participant: 'Our identities are not defined by the labels others place on us, but by the strength and resilience we cultivate within.' With each step, Jane's confidence grew, and the weight of her past became lighter. In the end, Jane's decision to seek help through the online program proved invaluable. While the path to self-acceptance was not always easy, she emerged stronger and more assured in her identity. The once-painful word 'coloured' no longer held power over her, and she embraced the richness of her diverse heritage with pride.
