A room that could have multiple white people in it
Um, yeah, so for me, like, I'm not even sure [pause]. Like, let's say, you know, I was looking to report anonymously, or just come forward and make a report. Like, I'm not sure if I would even be comfortable, just based on my socialization at this point, of going in a room that could potentially, you know, have multiple white people in it and explain to them what I have experienced - I don't think I would even, I wouldn't even want to do that in the beginning. So, it just starts from that and I wouldn’t even know how to break it down from there, to be honest with you.
