I share my personal struggle with racism and gender bias in the Australian justice system, highlighting how being a black man creates unique challenges when seeking protection from harassment.

• Attempted to get a restraining order against an ex who has been harassing me for two years despite having substantial evidence
• Faced discrimination as the police immediately implemented an order against me based on false allegations without requiring proof
• Being a black man means facing a justice system that inherently views you with suspicion
• Men who report being victims of harassment or bullying are often told to "turn the other cheek"
• Warning to other black men to be careful, document everything, and protect themselves
• Call for people to speak up against racism rather than standing by silently
• Despite these challenges, determined to maintain my values and not let these experiences change who I am

If you're experiencing similar situations, document everything and keep strong in your truth. Remember that your worth isn't determined by how others treat you.
