Totally relatable, I heard the exact same things growing up. Growing up, it was inspiring and encouraging to see you, an African-American young woman like me: sing country music, wear cowgirl boots, and play the guitar. Not allowing other’s expectations of how you should act cause you to shy away from listening to certain styles of music or talking a certain way. You are a blessing, Jamie Grace…keep shining bright!🙂🎉👏🏾
This happened to me as an Indigenous Australian with fair skin. I felt I wasn’t Aboriginal enough and wasn’t white enough, just somewhere in between. My dad always taught me my identity is not founded in my ethnicity, but in Christ 🙏🏻
I was told that too! At parochial school, emphasis was placed in articulation, and I loved words! As an adult, people said I sounded like I was in radio/TV. People are always speaking without sensitivity. Some bad, and some good.
I love your heart and your music! God blesses me so wonderfully when I listen to you, such godly encouragement, thank you and thank our gracious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
I’m mixed with Hawaiian Polynesian my cousins made fun me saying I sound like a white gurl from Texas. At first I was offended by it, then thought about how the way they talk using slang words. I told them I’d rather sound and speak like a white gurl than Gettho like y’all so thank you I take it as a compliment. And if I was to go in for an interview with y’all; I know I would get the position before y’all so thank you! They shut their mouths real fast 😂
Hi Jamie love your music. BTW I am white and once while working in a retirement home as a caregiver with a mix of cultures someone called me "black". Lol. I did not take offense. I think they meant the way I "fit in" with people there. I took it as a compliment. Lord bless.
My daughter is American, my grandparents are from Ireland and Italy, my wife is from Mexico, and she is 8 years old and i in love with you a and Jesus.
I was just listening to one of your song, loved it so much I went to your album and realize you are the singer for A Beautiful Day which I also love soo very much and then I realize you’re not white 😂 sorry!! 🙈 😂 I always thought you were a white girl until I went to your album then I had to go see you on RU-vid 😂 love you, love your music, love your videos, love your style🩷

No no no ............. It was totally wrong, and you are looking so beautiful 😍 . Your color and something else it doesn't matters in the eyes of God but how you are prasing God it does matters in the eyes of God. So please don't think about the world and what they talking about . Just leave it and enjoy the life . Jamie grace you are my inspiration and also my favorite singer ❤ keep smiling 😃 may God bless you 😇 My name is bhavana. I think you are my sister
Talking proper and intelligent has no color ,,,❤ just the way you are. Also everyone is unique and beautiful in their own way ,,you don't look mixed to me...your just beautiful outside as well as inside,,,their are alot of people different races that are super beautiful ,you don't have to be mixed to be beautiful.
From Ohio. Grew up like that. Then, I moved to Africa. In many countries over here, we are called COCONUTS 🥥. Brown on the outside, WHITE on the inside. Even after several years here, it gets on my nerve. But I have to DAILY remind myself that I didn't move here to be angry. I am grateful for what my ancestors persevered through in America for centuries. I embrace my "proper tongue" and "features". Did a DNA test and not Eurpean or Mestizo genetics. I am just a beautiful black woman from America and I am humbly happy that I do not need to be mixed to be beautiful. It's really sad. I swear .... lol.
Jamie I just love you and your music. Thank you and God Bless for what you do. Peopleneed to become color blind. Lol, I wo Der what crazy white people will do if they go to heaven and Jesus is seen in his earth forms, you know he was not white with light hair and blue eyes. Lol.
My twin sister talks white. It's help her in professional career sectors. Corporate careers. I can't talk white. She is very dark skin and beautiful. I think this a good thing❤️
I’m confused Jamie, it seems more like an offence, with some prejudice behind it. Please be careful of how you’re projecting your feelings. - fellow Christian.
It's okay to be confused! Happens to all of us. Hope you dig in to some books or conversations with in-person black friends for better understanding. And if you don't ever fully understand me, that's okay too. God bless!
