“One fun fact I learned while on the air with Keith Olbermann was that humans on the Internet are scumbags. People say children are cruel, but I was never made fun of as a child or an adult. Suddenly, my disability on the world wide web is fair game. I would look at clips online and see comments like, “Yo, why’s she tweakin?” “Yo, is she retarded?” And my favorite, “Poor Gumby-mouth terrorist. What does she suffer from? We should really pray for her.” One commenter even suggested that I add my disability to my credits: screenwriter, comedian, palsy.“
“It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you’re not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.”
Like when I switched my Senegalese twists out for a bun with bangs temporarily my white ass manager was like “Yes!! Such a good, clean, professional look” 😒
freaking terrible
Like when I was working at Chick-Fil-A and came back from a cruise with my hair twisted and fresh sun kissed skin, 3 managers sat me down to tell me my look was “inappropriate” and that they wanted their employees to look like they were walking into a “fortune five hundred company.” Immediately after the sit down I called my mother crying, which resulted in me putting in my 2 weeks notice the same day.
For lurking ass team “it’s just hair”.

The bullshit we go thru because of who we are smfh
