Who am I, or should I ask, who are we as a black culture to not believe in their experience? Within the black culture, we tend to be very suspicious of stories we hear and I don’t know why or when this started.

Shopping While Black

Shopping while black brings about more anxiety for me than being behind the wheel of a car. Yes, I don’t drive – that’s a story for another day. The other day, I went into the local beauty supply store and walked around the aisles until I saw what I was looking for. A minute too long in the aisle, I was greeted by one of the workers asking if I needed help.

See! A nice message left by the teenager to Starbucks frappe drinkers. [read previous post for context] 😊 Twilight Zone This post was supposed to go from draft to post live on Mother’s Day. HOWEVER, if you too have a female 13 year old, you too can imagine how my day could have possibly gone. I didn’t really like her too much on Mother’s Day. In her teenage world, we are the evil wicked parents who don’t give her unlimited Starbucks drinks and Wi-Fi access to watch videos all day. And then there was a shutdown of the apps on her phone, yea it was one of those days. It’s Taurus season and since I’m a Taurus, it’s still my birthday. Lmao
