“Mom rage is real & not to be toyed with.”
At the approach of her daughter’s 9th birthday last week, Dr. Ijeoma Nnodim Opara sent the girl to school with party invitations in bright yellow-and-white envelopes for her close friends.
Opara, who is 41 and lives in metropolitan Detroit, experienced what she later described as a deep, heavy sorrow. And, Opara says, disparate outcomes are too often ascribed to race rather than to systemic disparities in “resources such as quality food, quality health care, quality education.”Now undeniable racism had arisen in response to an invitation to her daughter’s birthday party. Opara expressed her deep sadness on Twitter.
A public health-care worker said, “I’m so sorry. There really aren't any words that make that make that less ugly.”Opara responded, “Yup. It’s real out here in these streets.” A Black dad wrote, “It’s so tiring and sad. My son told me he is glad I prepared him with the talks we had when young. It shouldn’t have to be this way.”“This hurts my heart so much,” one person wrote. “ Let’s do a birthday blitz and send her cards from around the world!
