Thanks for taking the time to write this. I think it’s helpful.
It starts with me and starts with us when our front door closes.
I’m Nigerian and I don’t feel much of racism but I witness it every other day.
My daughter has it a mouth full . Recently, an Asian lab assistant with a PHD almost derailed her dream of a medical school.
An older woman not empowering a young woman because of race.
The good doctor did the same thing to all the black pre-med students and some of them dropped out. My daughter lamented, “ she drove the most brilliant students out of the program. Now that we need more black doctors in our community.”
My daughter’s innocence was destroyed by the lab assistant, a woman. Now, my daughter is front and center speaking against racism and sexism.
Racism or any form of discrimination is a human nature and we have to be conscious with what we do to ourselves and others.
Do I discriminate against other people?
Well done.
