SUMMARY Racism is an unnecessary evil and is a complex, man-made construct that continues to destroy many bright futures of people of color. Racism is intricately layered and interwoven in the fabric of life and is a disease of the spirit that has its origin in a lack of brotherly love and could also be described as a lack of reverence for God. This is a personal story of staying whole in a fragmented world through spiritual transformation found in Christianity. It begins in the Caribbean and discusses some aspects of nurturing and upbringing that fostered a sense of positive self-worth, which helped in grooming for social work practice and preparation for dealing with the effects of racism in America.
