Experience Quote by Stassi Schroeder
“I didn't understand that just because something wasn't about race for me, doesn't mean it's not about race for the other person because I'm bringing my experience as a White privileged woman to this situation and she's bringing her experience as a Black woman into this situation. And because it's about race for her, it is about race.”
