Marley, I read you, hear you, and feel you on this one. I believe you. I know these experiences. I’m in the middle of reading about the history of residential segregation in the US and how we were charged more. We still are. Housing, lodging, and customer service are huge areas where we experience racism. The mental, emotional, and physical trauma are real from your essay, and they are confirmed by science. You are right about the importance of sharing, and doing so with direct words.
