Hi Emily
This is true. Starr struggles with her identity as a black woman. There are features of her black identity that she believes she cannot showcase at her predominantly white high school and there are things she has picked up at her high school she does not think she can showcase in her predominantly black community. As a result Starr constantly filters herself to fit in. She feels like she is not able to be her true self no matter where she goes.
