Sweets Quotes in The Skin I’m In

Skin the color of potato chips and cashews and Mary Jane candies. No Almond Joy-colored girls like me. No gum-smacking, wisecracking girls from my side of town.
That didn’t bother Sweets none. She says she deserves to be in that school as much as anyone.
“You got the right color skin,” I said, poking her fat tan face.
“It’s not about color,” she said. “It’s how you feel about who you are that counts.”
