I was at my aunt’s house this morning. We were all having breakfast together when my uncle turned to his 15 y old daughter and said, “You should go change and put on something less revealing.

I was invited to a sleepover once in middle school once. When I got there I was the only Black child. My mama stayed for awhile then informed me that I would be leaving with her instead of sleeping there. I was SO angry & cried all the way home. I get it now mama. I get it.
