I can relate…… Everything from the “oh, you’re so articulate” to the “you fit the description of a suspect we’re looking for” to the “are you the pickup guy from Goodwill”, to the all-too-familiar sound of car doors locking as I’m walking through a parking lot to get to my OWN car.
Some will NEVER know…..

That “oh you’re so articulate” Goddamn. Those were both really good.
I agree Sean, some won’t ever know.

Both amazing and aspiring accounts of the so-called “Black” experience. As a black woman from the Caribbean, I can only wish that I’d be able to articulate myself in that way, no pun intended, lol

I related to so much in these stories. Especially Lauren’s but bits and pieces of Cord’s too. Though it took me longer than either of them to start to grasp hold of an identity I felt comfortable with. And if I’m honest I’m still grappling with it a bit.
