An example of a microaggression I experienced this week was sitting in the lobby at the work place and my coworkers were having a conversation. One of the ladies committed saying going natural is not a great idea for you. I couldn’t believe that she would make a commit about the other ladies hair like that. I felt that it was rude and hurtful. Especially if the lady felt strong about getting back to her roots and showing her cultural differences.
This example made me aware of the microaggressions that take place on day to day bases. I believe a lot of people are not aware of the things they say to others and think their mindset of thinking is okay. The discrimination of the lady going natural was very hurtful because the other lady had no understand of the purpose of the lady’s decision.
