I want to discuss my experience with white privilege. I graduated from North Hollywood High with a 1.7 GPA and struggled to find a job. At 19, living in my family's garage while my mom relied on welfare, I approached a fire station about a job. They told me I couldn't be hired because I wasn't black, Hispanic, or a woman. For the next seven years, I worked at a construction site. Eventually, I received a letter to take the written exam for the LA fire department. While waiting in line, I spoke with a young woman of color who had signed up just days earlier. This illustrates my experience with white privilege.
