On April 24th, 2021, I got my 2nd vaccination shot. It came with a tinge of hope as I'd been locked down like the rest of the world for over a year. Now mere months later, with the Delta variant running rampant, the vaccination rates of African-Americans have slowed and we're on the brink of another shutdown and outbreak. Why? In “Thee Who Hesitates,” I explore my own journey to getting vaccinated and ponder the question of why African-Americans and people of color are still hesitant to get theirs even as the disease continues to spread.
