I think I get tired of that uncomfortable feeling when you know someone's thinking, "Really? You did that? That's so unexpected of a young black girl!" You can just see it in their faces sometimes. *sigh*

Maybe it's because of where I'm at now, but I find that reaction hilaaarious. I still look 'bout 15, so people never expect me to do what I do and know who I know.
I'm actually not a big bragger except for in extraordinary circumstances. The people at my company just blow me away on a daily basis, so I am focusing on humble and trying to learn from them.
