I got dropped from a gig because I’m black.

I got an exciting gig as a spokesperson, got a text message today saying they I’m no longer needed because I’m black and it will be limiting for the organization (the owners are black). They don’t want to appeal only to black people. Man I tell ya I get it from a marketing standpoint but it’s really discouraging to hear. Just needed some words of encouragement.

Note-a contract has not been signed as of yet.
