    We have office events where we’re encouraged to dress up in our culture attire and I’m always torn on what to do. On one hand, I’d want to represent Africa but I don’t know where my family’s were taken from, and we also have actual Africans that work here so that’ll be awkward. On the other hand, I still respect the culture that Black people built but it’s been stolen so much throughout the years that it’ll just look typical.

      I honestly wouldn’t know what cultural attire would be for me, other than a hair scarf I guess? you can never go wrong with giant a Africa on your shirt or something, I get compliments on my earrings.
