Oh Cheryl. I am sitting here stunned. I did not know all the details of this. And it is horrible. Horrible and wrong. Thank you for writing it and for writing it so well.

You can see that I highlighted almost the entire article. I couldn’t help myself, it was all so powerful.

You should have 500,000 claps on this piece. Seriously everyone on Medium should read it.

Cheryl there is still so much work to do. This belief in way too much of society that we all need to look like old, white, straight, christian, men should never have been a belief in the first place. It makes no sense. We are all people. Equal human beings.

We just have to continue to focus on fixing it. Step by step.

Someday I want to tell you an experience I had when the remake of BIRTH of a NATION was released( about 4 years ago, I think). It’s not a big story or anything, my experience. But I did have a chance and took it to set straight two insensitive(and ignorant)strangers .
