Brit songstress Laura Mvula recently revealed a rather harrowing experience at an American airport.
Mvula took to her Instagram account, where she detailed being detained for over 4 hours at Miami International Airport. The singer was traveling ahead of her international tour, which kicks off in Miami next month.
Mvula says that she was treated disrespectfully and mocked, all because of a mistake on the part of a customs officer.
“[It] occurred to me what trauma it must be for victims of really serious bullying by officials and more seriously what it must be to endure police brutality,” she wrote.
Mvula hasn’t shared any further statement since penning the post a few days ago, but she has received an outpouring of support from fans.
