I once appeared before a federal judge. My opposing counsel was also a Black woman. We were in suits, standing behind counsel tables. He demanded impatiently & loudly, “where are the lawyers?” In that moment, she & I shared a brief, knowing, pain-filled glance.
“When you’re a black woman, you get mistaken a lot as someone who could not have the top job. Sometimes you’re mistaken for kitchen help. Sometimes people will assume you’re in the wrong place, and all I can think is, ‘No, YOU'RE in the wrong place.’”
