we only complain about things we can change.

 

[wheywhey]

I honestly hope you stick with it and do enough in that world to change things and make it better for future AA...




I believe you though. Sounds like a lonely lifestyle.

The OP isn't African American. He is British. His family is from Ghana and he works in Germany.

Hang in there breh...I feel ya.

Atleast you got your foot in the door over there...meanwhile I'm just serving yogurt over here til I can find a better job.

I don't even think corporate is for me honestly...I'm not sure that's where my passion lies.

But seriously, I have my doubts about getting in that door...everytime I've been to an interview for a corporate position I've never gotten a call back.

They see my unapologetically Nigerian name that they can't pronounce and they don't want no parts of it...

But they'll hire yet another John, Josh, Bradley, Ashley, or Jen...

So I feel your plight 100% it's rough out here in the corporate world...especially for Africans/West Indians.

Atleast you AAs got slightly Americanized names...like Brad and Tyrone and John...and employers are likeuntil you show up and then are like

Me? You know how many people can't get my name right?And I wouldn't change it for anything in the world just to be "accepted" by this fake as hell society. Cause I got pride in my heritage and background and wouldn't change it for any amount dollar signs.

If that leads o being broke...whatever. I'd rather be broke with dignity and pride than rich knowing that I sold out everything I had physially, mentally, and spiritually.

This is why my aim is to become a fashion designer and basically force my name down people's throats....and force em to get it right...cause I ain't changing for nobody. If yo don't like it or can't get it right...get it right cause you have no choice..TAKE THAT TAKE THAT TAKE THAT!

F*ck working for other people...you know how many threads I read about stories like yours and I feel obligated to go out here nd do it for the Coli, the underdog, the underrepresented...and all that!!!!???? Tons. That's why I fukks with you mane...real talk. People like you inspire me at the end of the day.
