PRACTICING AWARNESS OF MICROGGRESSIONS

I know you have already heard about what happen to me in Grammar School but, I feel it fits our topic on “Microaggression”.  Of course during that time in my life I wasn’t aware I was the target. This made me feel afraid, ashamed to come to school due to children were very cruel, and wanted to be with children and teachers of my culture.

My Perception of “Microaggression” is an professional please me mindful how we address children and their parent due to what comes our mouths because, some parents or other individuals may feel, the comment was said “intentional or you as the professional may have said it in an unintentional way. As Dr. Sue stated, “ Microagressions are brief everyday indignities that are verbal behaviors or environment, and may be intentional and unintentional when communicated to women, people of color, and gay / lesbians that psychological distress and harm” (Laureate Education, 2011).
