, Glitzier Numerary

Friday!
I realized last week that I was the 'token' of my department. I never thought of myself in term of skin color while growing up in Miami. Now that I'm in Michigan, and working for the U, it's obvious. I should get myself a purple T-shirt and put a yellow T on it via iron on or something and see if anyone notices.

    I felt like I was the token when I lived in Miami (3 years). It was interesting to have the whole "majority/minority" thing turned on its head.

    Then again, I came to Miami by way of Atlanta by way of New Orleans - so I was no stranger to being the only melanin-deprived person in any given social situation, work situation or what-have-you!
