#Tbt to my first conscious experience with overt racism, while doing something I loved and was extremely talented at!
•
Rewind to 5th grade Orchestra practice and I accidentally bump into Kristi Kirk sitting down in my chair. I apologized to Kristi but Kristi wasn’t having it, leans over, and says to me “My mom said she’s embarrassed of me for letting a Nigger best me at violin.”
•
I never told my parents what Kristi said but I worked hard and practiced consistently to remain first chair.
•
I had no permanence to Violin but I mastered it, subconsciously so Kristi’s mama could stay mad.
•
The truth is, many Black Americans are expected to fail and viewed as inferior in the arts as well as our overall lifestyle. Who raised y’all, Kristi’s mama?
•
“What would you do, you knew you couldn’t fail? I have no fear in anything, do everything well.”
