In this personal story, I recount my first major purchase after college—a simple furniture buy that turned into a moment of deep internal conflict. Was I being profiled? Was I invisible because I was young… or Black… or both? 

This isn’t just about a trip to Sears in 1992—it’s about what it means to exist in a space where you’re supposed to belong but don’t feel seen. 

Listen in as I break down the emotions, the questions, and how this moment shaped my perspective as a future discrimination attorney and judge.
