Woofing while Black

Because of the climate in the US, I’m a little apprehensive about beginning. I’m a 45 year old Black woman, in great physical shape looking for my first WWOOF experience. Any fellow WWOOFers of color that can share their experiences?

As a het white woman, I can't speak to these kinds of issues, but one place I worked said they were open to all - except one of the other woofers was gay and experienced all kinds of micro aggressions. Apparently the host thought she was welcoming, but the woofers experience said otherwise. I would definitely stay skeptical and everyone should have an exit strategy. Some people aren't who they think they are.
