[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my older DD was the only AA, she was “the Black girl”. The other kids didn’t really bother to learn her name until the ne t year when two more Black girls joined. [/quote] Sorry about that. That must have tough for her. You stuck it out though so I guess the positive outweighed the negatives?[/quote] In a way, it prepared her at a young age to be “the only” in a lot of settings both as a child and now as a young woman. It wasn’t the last time that happened either. Her first week working at a state agency, a coworker told her that another coworker was calling her “the Black girl”. After that, she made a point of reintroducing herself to him every day until he stopped. [/quote]
