A black graduate snatched the microphone from a white clerk after she cut her off during her opening speech, and footage of the incident has sparked backlash online.
Kadia Iman was seen in a TikTok video wrestling a microphone from a white teacher’s hand as graduates lined up to receive their diplomas at an unknown school.
“I want the microphone,” Iman can be heard yelling at the teacher as she aggressively pulls the electronics away from her. ‘Let go. You didn’t let me have my moment.’
Each student got a chance to say their name, major, and a few little things about themselves as they traveled to the podium, the influencer and Only Fans star admitted in a separate TikTok video. But when she and other black students got a chance to speak, she said she noticed the woman “pull the mic down super fast for some black people.”
Iman went to “reclaim” her moment and told the crowd her full name.
