Check Your Eyes

You ‘don’t see color’, that’s nice Becky but you know who do:

•The Police

•TSA Agents     

• Potentential Employers                                       

•Retail workers who stalk me around the store   

•The women of Sephora when they try to shade match me                               

•Hollywood                                                       

•Potential dating partners

See Becky while you rock back and forth muttering ‘I’m colorblind’, just know that doesn’t aid POC in the long run.

*to all my POC keep the list going! Add on instances where others seeing and or judging you based off the color of your skin was inevitable.*
