Happy Monday, y’all!!! I have bundled up all of

When we moved into our forever home, I scheduled a $When we moved into our forever home, I scheduled an appointment with a well known company to come to our house to quote us on some shades and curtains. Usually, my husband gets the door but because he was at work, I met up with her instead. Immediately, when I greeted her, her demeanor changed. She looked surprised and even shocked that it was me and two babies at the door. Whether she thought I looked too young or not the right color to own such a new house in a nice neighborhood, I could feel it. She shot down all of my ideas and choices and plainly said they wouldn’t look right and they were silly. She was completely hostile and I could feel the resentment in her voice and eyes. She scaled our house up and down as she kept insisting to have my husband come home from work and talk to him instead. So I decided that I only had one thing to do, I showed her the door and said she doesn’t ever need to come back. I know deep down inside that she felt that I was somehow unworthy of what I had and possibly had more than she did, which she displayed it through her unapproval of my choices and ideas for curtains and blinds for my own house. Racism doesn’t see your hard work, the hours you spent staying up at night to do your homework and study for your exams alone without any help, the scholarships you applied for because you knew that you won’t get any inheritance or trust fund that could help you in college or afterwards, the 18 to 21 credits that you took each semester to graduate magna cum laude, the pressure and stress that you put yourself through because you have no other choice, and the years of working against all odds to build and create something for yourself and family. It only sees your color and deems you unworthy and wants to put you in ‘your’ place. Unfortunately for her, I don’t play and I don’t pay to feed into racism. This is only one example that I have faced racism in my life. At times it’s hostile, at times it’s subtle. And the truth is, what I face is only a fraction of what others face every day. Because so, I can’t just post a black square and claim I’m an ally. There is lots of work to be done, and we are only getting started.$
