Thin privilege is real. But why it can’t and won’t dissolve 2020 trauma
I’ll never forget my last chemo appointment. The nurse removed the needle, patched me up with gauze and those over-sized hospital band-aids and said, “you’re done!” After six months of vomit, blood transfusions, and the fear of death I’d reached the chemo finish line. And, I thought ...
