Why do other blk people always say I sound white? I only have the accent based on where I lived most of my life.

I feel like I can’t do things I enjoy doing or like to do. I want to make vlogs or do YouTube and TikTok’s but everytime I open my mouth to tell my story or speak up. People have a issue with how I sound. I think I am undiagnosed mildly autistic, and I speak what they are saying white and clear, and some people say I sound like a little girl. I guess I have a baby voice too. I can’t help how I talk I was raised in Wyoming most of my life I was the only black girl in the whole school from the age 10 to almost 16. My parent moved me to the South right before I graduated highschool. Since I moved to a place where more people look like me I get bullied constantly for how I talk even as a adult. It’s like they are mad that I speak politely and we’ll spoken. It’s mostly other blk women that have a issue with how I talk. Which is weird because I hear well spoken blk women all the time and see it online. When I joined a space on TikTok as soon I started talking they was like why does she talk like that, and it really makes me nervous and sad and then I feel like I talk weird. Should I take speech class, do I have a weird sounding voice? Is there anything I can do ?

Be yourself, be proud of who you are, be an original. Nothing at all wrong with you. The people that put this on you are the problem because they have limited minds and are easily swayed.
Don't even spend one more second thinking about it, just be you.
You do not need lessons to talk down like they do.
