I’m a details person so I decided to read everything on the box. I got so dizzy when I read that the manufacturer is “Gilead” and then had to calm myself with the fact that it’s not a real place 😭😊
Incase anyone who can change my life sees this- hi my name is Simphiwe Mbatha. Welcomes to ‘Makeup Inspired by African Flags’ PART 1. 39 flags that are love letters to each country. Part 2 coming soon ❤️🌍🇿🇦 #colourmesim
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
