You want to protect her privacy now, after you've used a #WOC as a self-congratulatory anecdote? Did you ask her permission to use her as a prop in public communication? You had a "long" conversation - did you pay & respect her time? You're not grasping race & class dynamics here

You're blaming the medium - Twitter. The issue here is not the brevity or context. It is this: why did you feel a need to share this at all? Why would you presume that you've inspired a
#WOC whose class & race may make solo travel far more difficult than you clearly comprehend?1 reply 1 retweet 7 likes
You also make many presumptions here that #WOC are objecting to - you believe that a man holds back #WOC from travel. You also mistake pleasantry of someone in service position with inspiration. You could avoid these dynamics if you read & interacted meaningfully with #WOC's work
