I am a WOC and need someone to listen to what a white woman actress is doing to me. Just need someone to listen I guess.

I usually post helpful stuff on here and questions, but I think this one I just need an ear. I have always wanted to act. I went to hs in a really racist area of the south. Growing up I was the only WOC in all my classes (I am not black, but I am a...
