1 sound
Linger in front of community thrift for awhile. Move at a much more glacial pace as the people passing you. Stop. Wait ten seconds. Now take your next step. This is Big Freak’s reaction to one of its members - a Black queer femme with dark skin - experiencing racism on a cute solo date out at a local thrift store. Have you had a similar experience and feeling of anger while passing this shop? Do you know what it’s like to feel unwelcome in this or a similar neighborhood establishment? How do you relate to the emotions expressed in this retelling of events that happened inside this location?
