Alicia Keys says her four-year-old son worried people would judge his rainbow nails
There are a few precious years of childhood where we go through life blissfully unaware that others may be judging what we do, how we look, and the ways we choose to express ourselves. And Alicia Keys thought that, at four years old, her son, Genesis, still felt unburdened by the possibility of scrutiny. However, during a recent trip to the nail salon, she was heartbroken to learn otherwise — and she shared her thoughts on the experience with her 17 million Instagram followers.
That when&aposs Genesis said something that shocked Keys."He was like, &aposPeople are not going to like it,&apos" she says."Can you believe this? Four years old — he&aposs four, and he already understands the concept that someone&aposs going to judge him because he chose rainbow colors on his nails."
"The way I see it is that there is masculine and there&aposs feminine energies inside of us all, you know?" she says."And it gets concerning to me that we can&apost just explore these different sides of ourselves, you know, these different energies that are within us."
