The class laughed. No one defended her. No one stood up for her. And when Artis sat down, she decided from that day forward, she would find her voice.<\/p>\n<p>Chasing her dream, Artis would later make it into West Virginia State University, which, unbeknownst to her, was a historically Black college. \u201cI didn\u2019t have the voice or the language to even know where I was,\u201d she recalled. For the first time, she was surrounded by people who understood her. \u201cI arrived on this alternate universe that is an HBCU campus, only to discover what it is to be Black in a country that does not always see you or give you a voice,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Words hold power, and we must use them effectively and inclusively, Artis stated. Gendered language, racial language, and sexualized language are everywhere in our world.
