Euzhan- Exactly. When African-Americans come to France, the French show them more consideration than they would show an African or a Black Caribbean. When African-Americans come to France, the French people are like “Oh, wow. Oh my God.” But if it’s an African, they’re like ‘Whatever.” It’s all because of the past, because of our history.

Job Interview Tomorrow
Things Just Ain't the Same...
Today… I had an interview… First time I have ever been in group interviews (four candidates, including myself, were interviewed together) We sat in a circle with four of the staff members. It was interesting… Oh yeah… this is the company.
After the interview I went hurried to the doctor’s office for my appointment. They removed more precancerous tissue. Again, precancerous! Grateful that all of this is being caught now.
I also weighed myself… I have gained 2 lbs… of course I have! I have not been jogging in about 2 months. #FAIL… Hopefully, once I am employed, I will be able to join a gym and continue on with my 40 lbs by 40 yo challenge. I have another organization that wants to interview me next week.
Life is a lot different than it was over a year ago… who knows if I would have ever gotten these medical procedures done if while I was still using and abusing drugs. I certainly was not employable then. Sitting still for an interview would have been nearly impossible.
I am in a better place now… things are looking up. I start training to become a CASAC on December 5th and I see myself being employed soon.
That’s a beautiful thing!
