I’ve actually never seen a pregnant Chinese woman. I never knew there’s a reason for that in Chinese culture.
I personally don’t believe that pregnant women or nursing mothers should be going to work. It’s a mark of a broken, money-obsessed society that pregnant women are made to work.

I'm acutely aware that the same circumstances can be interpreted differently depending on who you are and how the world perceives you.

This is what systemic racism and racialised hypervigilance can do to an individual or a group of people.
Story time: Due to the nature of my job, I sometimes work with the police. On one occasion, I was required to assist with an investigation. When it was over, the officers

About five minutes from my house, I asked them to stop “here”. It wasn’t my house but I didn't want to be seen arriving in a police car. It was somewhere quiet, away from public view, away from prying eyes, and away from the possibility
and away from the possibility of giving my neighbours more ammunition 🤦🏾.
