I am terribly sorry that you had to endure that and I wish I could give you a big COVID-safe hug. I also wish someone had thought to warn you before giving you that assignment because even though you were an adult, you were still a young adult and deserved not to be thrown into a situation like that head-on. I believe this last highlight says it best, and it's one of the reasons I choose to speak with white women, particularly mothers. The world can only change if people don't continue to raise racist children. Thanks for always sharing such heartfelt articles.
