I onboarded a lady today and she told me, its difficult being a sister in a non-sister environment. And I heard her. Is it okay to wear weave on Wednesday, your natural hair Thursday, and come back with braids on Monday? Is it okay to be sassy and swagged? Do you overthink your attitude to be sure not to neck jerk and eye roll? Are you sure to mask your real voice for your wh--work voice? I heard her. I get it. I laughed...Im a sister in a non-sister environment...I guess...but whats a sister environment? Is sister interchangable with hood, ratchet, or ostracization? I dont feel out of place in a room full of educated people. I feel like the underdog sometimes...or like I have something to prove maybe. So I prove that I can be myself and still stand next to you - you and anybody. My sister hair...my sister attitude...my sister style...my sister diction and delivery...I am a sister IN MY environment. Whats better than that? #StandOut #DontFitIn
