When I was a kid i was told i talk or act white but it was usually in responde to personality markers that manifested in my adulthood to just being my queerness. Or things characteristcally deemed “feminine”. 

Yes! I have been told that I talk like a "white girl" since  I was six.  I am 35 now.  Keia I can relate to your story.  My Middle Science wouldn't let my former stepfather pick me up  from school. My mom  always did, but that she had to work that day .

Man... When I tell y’all this conversation with Michell was RIGHG ON TIME!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!! I’ve been affirming myself as I experience a tough time wondering if it will pay off. This was the confirmation I needed! 

Hey Ladies!! Welcome back!! Missed yall but hope you a restful time off!! Happy New Year!! 

pvalley!!! def looking forward to y'alls take!
