I’m “randomly selected” for extra searches EVERY TIME I’m at an airport. Yesterday I was told to leave my 3 year old - who was holding my hand at the time - with my (white) husband and moved away. It broke my heart to know that one day I’ll have to explain why to my daughter.

"Watered down black history means grovelling for a seat at the table. A richer understanding of history understands that black communities built the table & that there is no table without black people."
