Microaggression occurs on a daily basis
for me but this week it happened when I was dealing with a Migraine. While at
work I overheard a co worker say, “Oh Laketha has a headache again” and then
came over and said to me that she had a
migraine so bad the other day that she started to call me and asked me what type of
medication does the doctor have me own. I was very offended because unless you
have truly suffered from migraines the way I do you could never imagine the pain,
embarrassment, anger, and slurs that I have had to suffer through. I thought she was down playing my migraine and
then without saying it to me saying that
she knows what I am going through.
I constantly feel that I am being
stereotyped, judge and even discriminated against due to my disability and to honest
it really hurts. I could be like some people and just sit home and not try to
work or go to school but I continued to strive to build a life for me and my children.
I believe as individual we must be cautious on what we say intentionally or unintentionally.
