Avina Banu's Beautiful World

The incident has really made me spend a lot of time contemplating, examining and re-examining things: I wish race was just that, a card, that I could have the autonomy to show when I wanted to and when I didn't. People who speak from that perspective, evidently speak from a privilege stand point where they haven't ever been discriminated based on their race, religious viewpoint, nationality, or name.  That's not to say I don't embrace my background, in fact I draw a lot of strength and wisdom. I only make that point to reinforce how difficult it is to change a stranger's judgement and viewpoint when they make false  assumptions on first glance. Racisim is well and thriving, if you don't agree, you are farther proving the privalge I pointed out earlier. Even if people speak from a privileged stand point where they have never been discriminated, I wish they'd empathize by contemplating on a time where they didn't want to be judged for something visible on first glance, whether it's something with their appearance, abled or disabled bodied, their mental or physical health, sexual orientation etc.  After turning the house and my husband's shop upside down, we were able to find the receipt of the protein shake. We now have proof that we aren't the scammers that some people commented we were. The receipt indicates that in fact my husband did buy the protein shake for $70, at Save On Foods, cash . Anyway still struggling to produce enough milk. When I pump before feedings, I can only express 2-3 oz, not nearly to what I use to be able to express. I am still taking a tablet of Ativan before sleep.  Still waiting for better days to come.
