Great Unexpectations
So I asked Elizabeth today, “Am I what you were expecting when they hired me?”. There was a short pause followed by a chuckle.
“Well the only expectation that I had was that you were black”.
Apparently, there was a black man standing out in the hall the same day they announced the hired me. He appeared to be getting a tour so when they said they hired Desmond, she immediately thought it was me.
Although Im happy to be who I am, Im really sorry for disappointing Elizabeth.
