Societal forces that shaped her life as a black woman impact Paula’s life. She finds herself attempting to fit into a dominant white society. She describes events from childhood to present that contributed to her life experiences. She addresses her parents’ endeavors to teach her how to assimilate and to value the white culture in order to succeed in life. She finds herself concealing her cultural identify when she is in an all-white environment.

A hurtful childhood encounter shaped her mindset in believing being black was a negative attribute. As a four-year-old, she experienced a very negative situation, which launched the beginning of a trajectory that compelled her to transform her life, by assiduously working diligently to assimilate into a white society. She captivates the love and strong foundation of growing up in a black family. Yet the complexity of doing a “delicate dance” between two cultures was not without anguish.

Paula shares both her outward journey and her inward journey. Although she becomes a successful professional woman, it was fraught with experiencing emotional, mental, and psychological consequences.

Works better than expected.
Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I really wish this was, like, a gel for running or something because the flavor is really tasty. Not too sweet, but flavorful enough to make sure you use it. It's a nice orange flavor that doesn't taste medicinal. I applied to the front and back of my teeth only and it lasted half the night. Quickly applied more and it lasted the rest of the night. I'm probably applying way too little but I genuinely just tried it so I'm not used to it yet.

Picture is deceiving .
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 2)
Picture of XYigel is deceiving as it shows two boxes. As it turns out you only get one box with two tubes in box. Picture should be changed to show one box

Exceptional dry mouth gel
Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
This stuff for dry mouth is amazing. I love the taste and the coating it leaves is great until I eat and then reapply. Best product I have used although more expensive than I would like.
