The hashtag, which was first launched in 2014 is making the rounds again, with hundreds of people weighing in on the topic, especially on their personal struggle with identity in an Islamophobic and anti-black world.

It made a comeback on Twitter on Tuesday, February 14, less than a month into Trump’s first month.
