I've learned that no one knows my experience unless I open up and tell someone. My frustration leads me to explode to vent and let go. At that point my frustration is greater than my fear of backlash. In the moment when I share with staff I hope that my thoughts are received and consider to educate others about experiences that may not be familiar to them. Amongst students I often don't have fear because most of my students look like me. For the students that do not look like me its a moment of education. We often live in our own cultural bubbles which limits our knowledge of others.
