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.
