I'm an eye contact girl now, but the feed is at least in part a reaction to/ decision about something else. I live in Cleveland Heights- a politically liberal and very integrated place, tho of course it has pockets of rich, poor, black & bigoted. I grew up in lily-white neighborhoods & churches, so 25 years ago, this was a big deal to me- one I was grateful ny kid would take for granted. Walking alone, my self-consciousness compelled me to meet the gaze of the numerous young & adult black men I would pass on the street & say hey. Granted, I like looking & saying hey in general, but I am aware of the stereotypes on both sides I was actively contradicting & I think I also wanted to fit in-between to behave as if I had grown up with diversity & was comfortable ;-).

So you still have a ways to go.
