(REVOLVER) – Apparently, it’s more important to be a black woman in power than it is to be a decent, hardworking leader. That seems to be the message coming from the rather flashy mayor of Dolton, Illinois, who is under fire for her lavish personal spending.
Tiffany Henyard is stirring up quite the drama with her love for the finer things in life, which is fine, but it seems that Ms. Henyard may be purchasing her goodies on the taxpayer’s dime. Henyard’s got a very “flashy” style, with her nails and hair always all “done did” up. The town’s trustees are raising eyebrows over her lavish spending, and when they called her out, the fireworks started. Henyard, who some might say got her gig more for ticking the “DEI boxes” than actual skills, didn’t just snap back; she went full-on diva on them. She accused the trustees, who are all black, of picking on a “black woman in power” and made it crystal clear she’s da big boss woman.
Caught on video, this showdown is nothing short of eye-popping. Henyard’s “sassy” comeback is a live tutorial on how not to answer to fiscal irresponsibility. A popular X account that goes by the handle “Unlimited L’s” shared this shocking video of the mayor defending herself in what sounds like a DEI rant.
