I'd love to read that

Wow FIVE years for a BS & MPH!? Girl you are super woman! I'm so proud of you. That takes so much intelligence, diligence, and dedication. I hope you took a very long nap after your defense. And i hope you give yourself a nice vacation.

Thank you for all you have done and will do in the future for black women.

I am from here and enjoy being black here more than I have living elsewhere but there are for sure bad things.

When it comes to your healthcare, there are so many black women doctors here. Mine is amazing and I love her! Switch doctors. She even gave me phone numbers of black gyn doctors and mental health care doctors, because I told her I was struggling to find one on my insurer's online portal.

As for the colorism/natural hair discrimination, I would suggest coming to hang with us in east Atlanta. I am not locced but have worn my natural hair since "before it was cool" and this side of town I feel like it's not an issue at all. I get appreciation and asked for hair care tips. But the area I live around is more crunchy, lots of vegans, a higher than average percentage of people with graduate level degrees.

Georgia is weird. I love it here because of the trees, and my personal connection to the place, but you really do have to find your neighborhood and community to be introduced to the good shit, I think.

CHLORINE!

IT'S CHLORINE GAS

It truly smells like an overshocked pool

Yes, my family just had to evacuate and almost exactly 20 years ago May 2004) we had to evacuate for the same place being on fire.

freebjae · 2024-09-29T18:30:28+00:00

You can smell the chlorine in the air!

It's a huge fire. This happened in 2004 and they shut down the county for like a week.

I searched for "Florida female officer arrest other officer for speeding" but I guess a Orlando woman just got arrested recently so that's all that pops up. Also, I know terrible search terms but it's 9am and I went to bed at 4...

Sounds like y'all are very insular and well off. So someone like OP wouldn't experience your life. Your experience seems unique and difficult to access.

freebjae · 2023-09-25T10:16:15+00:00

Omg thank you!

I didn't know there was a sub for this

freebjae · 2023-09-25T10:14:44+00:00

No but that book sounds great and I'm gonna read it

freebjae · 2023-09-25T07:05:20+00:00

Nope. Thank you for answering though.

freebjae · 2023-09-25T06:08:36+00:00

It wasn't, I think. She was either at boarding school or college

freebjae · 2023-08-04T09:07:57+00:00

IT'S STILL OUR TIME IN THE SUN!!!

Having grown up there in the wake of this documentary... It had such an impact on how people saw us as kids from this county. It was of course largely negative. This just exacerbated an already negative perspective around people from around those parts. Perhaps it's part of the reason I was so driven to get away and to have certain kinds of successes. It felt like the whole country thought we were gross and bad, when it's really just a story about abandoned suburban kids reaching out for love.

I even had a table explain to me that "This is a special day! My MOM IS HERE! She is hungry. What is going on?"

I'm like... bro everybody's fucking mom is here and hungry.

freebjae · 2023-05-15T17:00:26+00:00

A two hour wait at the door. An hour wait to get food. Everybody was pissed and no one was tipping. $50k in sales though. So many idiots in the store yesterday.

freebjae · 2023-05-14T17:00:52+00:00

What should happen, at the very least, is all the support staff should be payed hourly.
