@robinmcaldwell @ShaunChavis You deserve the accolade, sis. You highlighted very REAL, very neglected issues, & on a MEDIA platform 🗣@arkrepublic That’s amazing. Thank you again for your gripping insight, Robin. Thank you https://t.co/tl1U9YG4ZN for creating spaces for these stories to be told. #YallDidThat

[I AM KING @KING_YOLI]

This article is so important. I feel like With most instances, Black women’s dollars/sweat equity is not as appreciated as that of their white/male counterparts. Thanks for writing this @robinmcaldwell #WeRefuse #FoodTravelChat https://t.co/CqWxza6JpR

.@shaunChavis tipping is very interesting. there've been times where the server clearly accommodates other folk because there is an assumption that Black folk do not tip. https://t.co/tZNndrXsnX

As a young women, I don’t want to perpetuate any stereotypes, but I’m mad as hell! How do #WeRefuse and be taken seriously? What do you all believe are some tangible solutions in this fight? #WeRefuse #FoodTravelChat .@robinmcaldwell @ShaunChavis @Kaiashivers @buildinghouses7

[I AM KING @KING_YOLI]

@ShaunChavis @robinmcaldwell @buildinghouses7 @ArkRepublic That’s so disrespectful. It amazes me that racist instances like these are just shrugged off. Black women are a living pandemic, public crisis. How do you fight internalization or bitterness towards perpetrators?

[I AM KING @KING_YOLI]

What have been some of your most memorable instances of refusal of service, respect, etc. in your respective fields? Did you overcome and continue in the field or leave? #WeRefuse #FoodTravelChat #DefendChikesia @robinmcaldwell @ShaunChavis @buildinghouses7 @ArkRepublic

[Dr. Psyche @pwilliamsforson]

@Arkrepublic black women are among the most disrespected. It is still believed, mybe unknowingly, we BELONG in kitchens, helping #werefuse

[I AM KING @KING_YOLI]

@buildinghouses7 Ok! The Black women is the most imitated, hated, yet coveted group on Earth...#WeRefuse

[Dr. Psyche @pwilliamsforson]

When many black women/ppl enter a landscape, food or otherwise, we shake it up by our presence. We make it nervous a la D. Byrne #werefuse

[I AM KING @KING_YOLI]

What about the Chikesia Clemons Waffle House situation pushes you to highlight this underreported reality for many Black women in culinary arts? Why write this article now? @robinmcaldwell @ShaunChavis #WeRefuse #FoodTravelChat #DefendChikesia

[I AM KING @KING_YOLI]

I think it’s really poignant to highlight the plight of Black women when it comes to food. We’re either coerced into it (women being taught their way around the kitchen), or forced to stay in it and smile/be grateful (bc you have a job). It’s tough. #WeRefuse #FoodTravelChat
