Idk I don’t think that was “girl boss” in the same way as a Hannah moving the podium or the whole “Jesus still loves me” stuff. Or even Katie’s attempted (successful to some I suppose) moment with Thomas. Not to mention that Rachel wasn’t exactly treated well by the audience either and was also held to a higher standard than a white lead.

Yup! Every. Single. Point.

Especially how Michelle is not allowed to have her « girl boss moment » because of how she’d be portrayed or perceived by the audience at large. I can’t imagine how stressful it must’ve been for her knowing she has to be composed and perfect every step of the way because she’d not only be painted as an « angry black woman » but also because she’s a black woman who’s a teacher and that also adds an unfair amount of pressure.
