It was April 22, 2017, and I was walking by myself to meet up with my cousin. I happened to be on the phone with my best friend. Street harassment isn’t foreign to me, it had happened plenty of times, but this time it was weird. I was still walking and this guy blew me a kiss from across the street. When that happened, I just kept it moving but then it got weirder. As I was walking, he pulled his car to the side I was walking on and then he stopped his car and kept saying, “Give me your number and I will drop you off to your destination” and “You have a nice body.”
It was scary and nerve-racking.
