So at work on Mon, a fellow employee said she liked by shirt and asked if I’m an AKA too. I said no, I just like the shirt (pink & green). She walked away with this disgusted look on her face. So it’s disrespectful to wear these colors?

I don’t think it’s disrespectful to wear pink and green if you like the colors. However, I can see how it might have been interpreted differently, especially if it’s linked to a specific organization like AKA. Maybe she felt like it was inappropriate if it wasn’t part of the tradition. It’s a tricky situation!

lol nahhh OP. You’re literally wearing color. It’s not a tricky situation and it’s not disrespectful. People like to be butthurt about everything and this woman from work is 🤡.

To clarify, the shirt was not an AKA shirt, just a shirt that by happenstance was pink and green?

Oh wow. In that case, this is a them issue. Perhaps they got excited and were looking to make friends; but that is not how you do it...😬
