TikToker Tenicka B (@tenickab), who is Black, took to TikTok a few days ago to share how she handled a fellow passenger’s questions in business class. The New York City resident said she secured an upgrade on a Delta flight and that, as soon as she took her seat, the man next to her asked about her job. She said she took the question as him not believing she deserved to be there, so she answered with a performance of her own.
Tenicka’s TikTok video went viral, racking up over 988K views in less than a week. She said in her post, “I sat next to this man. He looks me up and down, you know, I can feel him breathing and looking at me. And he said, um, ‘What do you do for work? What do you do for a living?’” Rather than answer, she said, she took a different approach.
