I was born a crime. Not figuratively, but literally. My very existence was illegal under apartheid law in South Africa. You see, I'm what's known as "colored" - mixed race. My mother is a black South African woman, and my father is a white Swiss-German man. Their union was forbidden. Growing up, I lived a life of contradictions. I was too light to be considered black, but not light enough to be white. I didn't fit neatly into any of apartheid's racial categories. As a result, I spent much of my childhood hidden away, isolated from the outside world. My mother couldn't be seen with me in public without risking arrest. But my mother was a rebel at heart. She refused to let the oppressive system dictate how she lived her life or raised her child. She taught me to question everything, to think for myself, and to never accept artificial limitations placed on me by others. "Trevor," she would say, "you need to learn how to think." It was her way of teaching me to see beyond the surface, to understand the complex realities beneath.
