Whether or not we are neurotypical, white people are not the only people who have problems dealing with Black girls and women who don't play the games folks want us to play.

My upbringing encouraged me to be excellent, strong in conviction, an independent thinker, unafraid to disagree.

Certain other places: white schools, Black churches, media, patriarchal Black men, work—encouraged the exact opposite! Young adulthood for me, and I imagine many other Black girls, was learning how to retain or find my own authentic voice and trajectory while avoiding failure and rejection.

I am currently a grown ass woman with plenty of life experiences, still using complicated ass mental calculus for resilience to live my best life despite all the bullshit.

I relate to that Amanda Seales interview too fucking much, and to my current knowledge I'm neurotypical.
