Hey @idkbro , thanks for sharing what you've been going through.
Firstly, just want to echo what others have been saying - you are absolutely NOT being dramatic. I relate to that feeling, especially as a POC in a predominately white space... it can be quite isolating. If something is harmful and no one calls it out, nothing will change! But then having such a heavy burden to carry as an individual, and someone who feels out of place already is rough. It is frustrating when only you are the one willing to take action - but know that you have done a very brave thing.
I'm glad you're seeing a counsellor and that has helped! Talking about this is important and hopefully finding a community (such as the one here!) will help validate your feelings because many of us share this experience.
We are lucky to come from rich cultures with incredible histories and strong people no matter what others may say to put us down!
You are doing great and we are here alongside you ❤️
