Kadia Iman Black female graduate scuffles with gobsmacked white administrator (Microphone Karen) before dropping the mic on her and storming off. Taking to TikTok, Iman explained detecting racism towards black graduates and how hard she had worked to arrive at this moment and how she just wasn’t going to take that sh*t!
‘Bixch let me explain who’s boss here!’ A tussle involving a Black female graduate and a white female administrator has led to some wondering whether the black college graduate was being preempted by the white educator – and if so why?
The incident captured on TikTok showed Kadia Iman, embroiled with a middle aged white woman aka Karen – pejorative for self entitled white privilege – over the mic before gaining possession of it.
‘You didn’t let me get my moment, so I wanna say my name is [Kadia Iman], and I am graduating today,’ Iman is heard saying. She then turns to the astonished unidentified woman and continued, ‘I don’t like how you snatched the mic out of my hand. So today is going to be all about me.’

‘I just couldn’t let that sh*t happen’
Iman then dropped the mic on the ground and walked away. After the video made its way online, the graduate who happens to be a TikToker with 24K plus followers and have her own OnlyFans account made a separate clip detailing what occurred from her standpoint.
‘So here’s my storytime,’ she began the video. ‘Basically… I was walking on, and we had to announce our names and say our names before we got on the stage. So, I was saying my name… My name is long, obviously. I have like three syllables in my name. So I didn’t even get to finish saying my name, and then the people that went before me and everything, they all got to say their names, their majors, and even extras. And me and another girl noticed that she was pulling the mic. She was pulling the mic down super fast for some Black people.’
Iman stated that what the woman did at the ceremony to her was wrong. ‘I don’t wanna be that person, but that was the tea… I just couldn’t let that happen. ‘Cause I just feel like I worked so hard to graduate and went through so much s**t to graduate. I just felt like I had to reclaim my moment. I’m sorry, like, I’m not a problematic person. I don’t wanna ruin no one’s day. I don’t wanna violate anybody, but that’s what she did. She didn’t even let me finish speaking,’ Iman mentioned. ‘[The lady] put the mic down and cut me off. And that was the only time I was able to speak.’
