Summary

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in the United States have been historically burdened with the weight of having to prove themselves in an oppressive system. Unsurprisingly, as our best interests were not always a focal point, this system has continuously failed us personally and professionally. With the troubled history and treatment of marginalized people throughout the US, some of these ripple effects have manifested as systemic, institutional, and personal racism. As a result, for POC, certain spaces are more comfortable to exist in than others. For Black and Brown people, living a second-class experience under the thumb of these circumstances, the struggles to be accepted, validated, and feel as though they belong, remain.
