My disabled wife is worth your inconvenience: An argument for wearing masks “It pisses me off to have to make a case for why she deserves to live. It pisses me off to have to make a case for why she deserves medical care. It pisses me off to have to make a case for why she deserves the time it takes for you to put on a mask.”
Sunflowers and fear “I had to call back the cops and explain the situation. I clarified that it was just a picture of a sunflower I was interested in. I learned my lesson that day! My brown skin color made me a person who would always be viewed with suspicion by some.”
Skin discoloration “As a POC, 1st generation American Chinese, I have and continue to walk in the path of racial discrimination—directly as well as indirectly. While my path may not be the same as other POC, we are still walking THAT path.”
I am raising my daughter to be free “I am teaching her to be unapologetically Black and to do it as the sun, shining bright and unconcerned with who’s eyes she shines into.”
