    Amira Smith, 23, claims she was fired from a European Wax Center in Rutherford, NJ after voicing concerns about racial discrimination and unequal pay, according to NJ.com. Per the suit, her boss became “increasingly angry” with her after she had approached her about white workers being paid more than Black ones.
    Her first mistake was working at a "EUROPEAN" wax center! I'm sure NJ has some black salons in the area. Working with, around, or for white people, this is expected. I really hope she can get paid and hopefully open her own salon catering to her people.
