2. You’ve had a sore throat for the last four years.

When a guy of any race is hitting on you and the first words that come from his mouth are NOT, “I really like Black women.”

I grew up in the midst of the gentrification of Los Angeles and I don’t know what to make of it.

It got to the point I was afraid to leave the house. Men became so aggressively ‘friendly’ and I was constantly being approached.

Between the ages of 5 and 10 I lived in a 1991 Mazda van with my mother and sister and our two pugs. We traveled the country, stole food, met gypsies, ran from child services, egged a church, befriended bank robbers, and slept under the stars.

I did not acknowledge or believe anything I am about to write until I saw it myself, after the doctors had pronounced me dead.

Every day we have a driver who shits in the parking lot.

Just remember, these can happen to you.
