People act like we haven’t made any progress since slavery ended

Too many to mention, but here is a reply that I shared yesterday so I don't mind sharing again.

"It is but everyone has their own story.

Me for example. I am an interior designer. After the 2008 recession I got made redundant from my job in architecture, so I worked in retail for a bit. I applied for well over 250 jobs, I had a handful on interviews. I never gave up and as a result I work for one of the best design companies in my country. Most of the other interior designers in similar companies are middle aged white women with blonde mid length hair. I am a young black woman.

Not to blow my own trumpet but my design work is far better than these established ladies. My old boss (one of these women described above) stole credit for my work for a high profile client right in front of me just because she could.

If I was you I would not assume everyone is lazy, or tar people with the same brush."
