Citizen, the first section came about
because I called at my friends and I said to them,
"Can you describe to me a moment when you were
doing something very ordinary?"
And suddenly, racism rerouted that moment.
And initially, people would say to me, "Oh, I can't.
I know it happened, but I really can't think of anything."
And I would say, "Sure.
Not a problem.
Call me back if you think of something."
And then, they would.
They would call me back and then they wouldn't stop talking.
And that was interesting to me because clearly, they
had shut it down in order to do what
they had to do in their lives.
But the minute you open the door, it comes flooding back.
I mean, every woman in this room knows
what I'm talking about in terms of misogyny.
So it's the same dynamic.
