It would nice to be able to write something and not have to feed it through the will-white-folks-understand-this filter. Tired of assuming white straight cis people are the norm, and should be catered to at every point.
Whether or not my voice sounds "aggressive, angry or unfriendly" interesting that I get that kind of feedback when others don't. Low hanging fruit but as a darkskin woman I get it a lot and it's f*cking exhausting trying to make sure the people around me are comfortable all day while I'm on edge.
As a black woman myself, I do have deep seated anger that manifests in the patience I extend, the criticism I project, and the injustice I have come to expect. What I have come to realize about myself is I need to heal more than I need to cope—to relieve myself of the responsibility of winning acceptance and validation from others. I am responsible for the part of my lived experience that is first created in my mind. We can’t fix things we don’t face.

I accidentally let my guard down and expressed the tiniest bit of annoyance at a poorly written SOW and immediately got a tone policing email about my communication style. Good reminder that we as Black people are simply not allowed to express displeasure at work.
