"Today, I wanted to come on here and speak about my experience with microaggressions and cultural appropriation. To be honest, when I took this on I felt empowered but what I didn't expect was the hurt that would come up. When I had to face these acts of discrimination in a list one after the other, the trauma started to bubble up a bit and I hope that hasn't hindered the message. Sorry If this video is a bit choppy, It was meant for IG Stories but couldn't all fit. Thank you again to the WTT Community for taking the time to listen and to Michelle for lending me this platform to share my story" - @ohheyvanessa
