New blog post is up. Let’s talk about it. Link in bio. ➡️

This past week has brought up a lot of feelings for me, and had me thinking about what life was like for me growing up. Thankfully, my parents educated my sisters and I, they went out of their way to find us children’s books about black history (I would have never known who Ruby Bridges was otherwise), and always made sure we were never ashamed of our skin (thanks for all the black Barbies 🖤) Still, I can’t help but think about how many times I’ve been the only black person in the room. The fact that I’ve NEVER had a black teacher. How many years it took for me to embrace my hair. How many times I’ve let micro-aggressions slide, and how I still know so little about my own culture and history. In fact, I’ve learned more in the past few years about black history by doing my own research than I ever did in my ENTIRE academic career. For a while, I felt so frustrated and embarrassed that I just accepted what little history I was taught for so long and that I’m just now researching more as an adult, but that also shows just how narrow-minded our society has been for so long.
