It was a racist, traumatic experience unlike anything she'd ever gone through before. My parents were shook by that place. It was very upsetting to them that my sister lived there.

Until I retired in 2021 students were STILL asking if I was "allowed" to wear my locs in court!!!!! I just...I just have no words for that place...Took me 9 months to heal myself after I retired.

And you know...you never want to step on someone's dream. So, we all stopped trying to persuade her not to go. She lasted two years and is now happily back in NY. We all breathed a sigh of relief.
