Far too many Black women with smarts, money, resources and competence are ASSUMED to be sex workers, just because they are Black. That makes travel for them another whole layer of humiliation, which speaks to a good part of what you're referring to here, Rebecca. You and I could be friends rooming together at a fine hotel, but if you and I walk through the lobby together you're the one who will be asked, "how much?"

It makes me want to spit.
