"In college I used to always catch the public bus between classes in the winter. Our student IDs gave us free fare, and there was no reason I’d choose bearing the -15F weather over a warm bus ride. One day, I got on the bus and at the stop after me, a black student got on, he went to buzz his ID but it kept declining. The student said “I’m so sorry, I have no idea why it’s not working, I’m just a student, I’m running late to class, I only need to go down a few blocks.” The bus driver looked at him and yelled “Get off my bus!” The student was stunned, “Are you serious? It’s just a few stops, please.” “I don’t care. Your ID doesn’t work, get off my bus!” The student walked off. I didn’t really think much of it in the moment.
The very next stop a white guy came on and pulled out a dollar bill from his pocket, much less than the fare, and without hesitation the bus driver said “no worries man, just head on in.”
In that moment I realized he wasn’t trying to abide by the rules, he was blatantly discriminating. I quickly grabbed my stuff and walked up to him, “Hey. I saw what you did. You kicked that other student off for his card not working but you just let this man in without paying, that’s not fair.” “That’s none of your business, I know what I’m doing, the cash slot isn’t working.” It was very much working another passenger had just used it. Before I could respond, the door opened, and he looked up at my head scarf, “I voted for Trump because of people like you.” My eyes welled up, I turned around, and ran off the bus.
I will never know what it means to be black in America. But I know what it means to feel treated less than human. I know what it means to feel unwanted in your own country. I know what It means to be painted over with a single stereotype. I can never fully understand the experiences of my black brothers and sisters, but I can stand. I can stand up in face of injustice. I can stand up against racism. I can stand my position relentlessly and unapologetically. I can stand in my white coat and advocate for the voices that are screaming and yearning to be heard."

"The racial injustices of my fellow Black kin is nothing new. We constantly are reminded of what it means to be Black in this harsh reality that we live in... and that’s when it happens: Desensitization. To protect us from the reality we live in, our mind becomes “numb” to repeated traumatic situations. I use the word “numb” loosely. What is really occurring, to me, is that all of our emotions are forcibly being placed into a fragile glass bottle. Watching the abuse and murder of George Floyd by those 4 officers was the breaking point for me and many Black Americans. As we knelt around Hahnemann hospital for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, all I felt was rage, frustration, sorrow and grief. My heart ached each time I tried to imagine the pain of being suffocated for 8 minutes and 46 sec.

Since then, I’ve focused on methods that will lead to a change in the way the world views people of my skin tone. As a Black woman, I refuse to let things go back to the way they were before. I refuse to remain silent and watch as my people are constantly persecuted for the color of their skin. I refuse to accept that all lives matter until Black lives do. "

"It wasn’t about the pics or about the praise we’ll receive from the media for being out there. For me it was personal. It was for my family, my friends, & my brothers and sisters around the country who share the same struggle as I do, yet don’t have the platform as me. I have a duty to speak out for my community and attention to these issues."
