Had a great day where I learned a lot, but reality of being a #WOC, is that I had a good day in spite of racial microaggressions. [Thread]pic.twitter.com/9JzWTl4r8T

In a room full of professionals, 2 White women, in completely different conversations made fun of my name.

I introduce myself. "What?!," White woman leans in close my chest where my name tag is. "I would never even know how to read that! [Laughs]"pic.twitter.com/QxwxFtxkFy

You can ask me how to pronounce my name
- but making a show of your discomfort is just White people saying they don't know any #POC.pic.twitter.com/79HjXWjUPn3 replies 25 retweets 104 likes -

I meet new people all the time, so I am forced to watch White people act as if saying my name is an incredible imposition or feat. It isn't.pic.twitter.com/iMK7oRw9XY

That's a lifetime of same racist interactions, on top of discrimination throughout school, career, everyday life. And I'm expected to laughpic.twitter.com/kyXC7px313

Twitter is great for making connections for POC. Tough in Oz when there are fewer of us in particular places - even online.

We definitely need more POC voices on politics and social justice issues. White perspectives dominate narratives about POC. Just stereotypes

Academia is teeming with racism. Toxic culture that needs an overhaul
