I never think about what it means to be an American. That term does not fit me; it is too small, too limiting. To do so would require me to divide myself into pieces-categories.

My name means "Moon Shining Bright…"

You see, as an American I am considered a minority but as the moon I am bright, a heavenly body--full, complete, and endowed with a godly light and subtle power, limited by no one, controlled by no one--shining.

- Chandra Roxanne
