'My breaking point was a time when I had let the event staff know I was
having trouble getting in places and asked them if they could just
really make an extra effort for this particular day, because it had been
a long week. Like, "Could you please just let folks know that I'm coming
and that I'm black?" You don't think you'd have to say those things, but
I said, "Let them know there's going to be a black girl that's going to
come to the front and please let her in."'

It's pretty clear that racism in the US is far from over.
