Have you ever had a racist experience at the airport or while traveling? I once had a woman ask to move seats away from me because I was wearing a headscarf. Luckily for me she did get moved, and the flight attendant gave me a free drink lol. Stuck in the airport waiting for a flight so hit me with your best worst stories.

I once was traveling with my mom’s frozen Indian food (which she spent ALL DAY cooking for me out of the purest love, I live in a different state and hadn’t seen her in nearly 6 months) and my carry-on got flagged for second screening at security. The TSA agent saw the palak and asked, with utmost concern, if I was trying to smuggle feces. Then he asked me to open the ziploc so he could smell it and prove it wasn’t feces - which would have meant throwing out the food anyway because the ziploc wouldn’t have closed again. Another agent overheard, called him out, and asked if I would be comfortable lodging a formal complaint. I was so shellshocked that I said no and just ran to the gate. But I haven’t seen the fuckface at that airport since so maybe the other guy got him fired? Wishful thinking? Ugh.

WOWWWW. That’s wild.. on their part! My family takes food too lol 😂

Not me but once my mother was screamed at by a white lady in her row for having a conversation on the phone in Spanish. If the woman was just annoyed about the phone call I could have understood it, but she screamed "talk English" at my mother so... Anyways she was removed from the flight!

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar.

However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?
