"As a Musta'arabi/Misrahi/Sepharadi Jewish woman of color, I am deeply disturbed by Harvey Weinstein's singling out of and targeted attempt to publicly delegitimize Lupita Nyong'o's (alleged) sexual harassment claim, one among scores of others.

As with any of the other women who have come forward, Lupita Nyong'o also has a right to decide whether or not she would like to pursue her case legally, or seek out a settlement.

As with any of the other women who have come forward, women of color have a voice, and the right to be heard and fully respected."
