That time I had to explain racism and slavery 😒 - Girl in Htown

That time I had to explain racism and slavery 😒

I honestly understand when someone from another country comes here and they don’t necessarily have the full scope of America but to say this I just cannot 🤦🏿‍♀️ I honestly really didn’t know how to respond to him asking me if I was an immigrant or not because I’ve never been asked that but I do understand the reason why he asked because technically he was an immigrant. I realize that my response may have been extreme but it was honest and I’m more than likely could have just said no I’m not an immigrant by the way that he explained to me someone that’s living in this country for 36 years that I as a black woman had just as much of an equal chance as anyone else was laughable. In a perfect world I would love for that to be true but I am a realist at the end of the day. Maybe one day I can have the opportunity to Grace the planet and see that actually occur.

Howdy, folks! I'm the creative force behind the blog "Girl in H-Town." I wear a few hats – writer, mental health advocate, and I like to think of myself as a "dating wing woman" with a passion for empowering women, helping them heal from their trauma, and improving their mental well-being. I was born and raised in a small Texas town, and let me tell you, life threw some real curveballs my way. I focus on empowerment, self-care, and self-love. When you read my blog, you're getting a piece of my heart – it's raw, honest, and deeply personal. I pour my own journey of healing and self-discovery into every word. When I'm not tapping away on the keyboard or working, I enjoy the simple things in life. I'm a bookworm, love tending to my garden, and find peace in yoga. But my pride and joy? Well, that'd be my super genius teenagers. Family is everything to me, and I'm committed to using my platform to positively impact this world. Whether you're looking for inspiration, guidance, or just an ol' Texas story, my writing is here to make a lasting impression. I'm a staunch advocate for mental health and an essential voice in the conversation around trauma and healing. So, if you're ready to be inspired, stick around. Kay Darden of "Girl in H-Town" is here to give you a Texas-sized dose of wisdom and heart.
