I had this sassy. God I loved sassy.
I actually remember sitting in 7th grade reading it and someone saying “her last name can’t be love”
I feel old and nostalgic all at once.

I always said someone needed to fix Michelle Obama’s eyebrows because it made her look angry. People usually just looked at me like I was crazy. I have the same shaped eyebrows as her and I am also a black woman. I cannot tell you how many times people accused me of being angry when I wasn’t just because of how my eyebrows were shaped. It’s one of those things that people don’t realize they are judging. They assume how you feel just on how your face looks. It’s ridiculous but it happens. They were making me the stereotypical “angry black women” just off of looking at my eyebrows! I finally started getting my eyebrows done and I’m getting less of those comments.
