Have
You Ever Felt Invisible?
As a youth whenever I would be
asked to have a super power it would always be to have the power to be
invisible. In this case it is a feeling of being alone and unheard. I was very
anti-social growing. Through many of life’s obstacles that I have faced would
raise my anxiety to the point is feel like secluding myself from the world. I
felt that from overcoming these obstacles is what has given me the strength to
be seen today. Today the only power I wish to have is that imaginary cape that
says hero on the back to empower those who are unheard, and that identify themselves
as
Invisible.
In the Video by Mellody Hobson: Color Blind or Color Brave? It really
touched me. Race has held a strong trait for me through my lifetime. I have
been grateful to grow up in a diverse High School, whereas I haven’t been able
to see color as a factor. Growing up and seeing the violence targeted toward
color is what to this day irritates me. As Mellody Hobson stated that her mother’s
biggest concern when she was the only black student invited to a birthday party
was “how did they treat you” sounds like my something my other would say. Race
is a touchy subject that when it is spoken of it tends to raise red flags. The
thing that inspired me to do is to identify the issues that I face regarding
race and to speak out. When speaking out it shouldn’t be to make others hate
another race, but to educate each other on the on the awareness so you are not
hiding from the existing factors. Mellody Hobson encourages us to embrace diversity as
it will help us succeed equality by being comfortable to elaborate on existing
topics on race.
