Currently - June '20

Currently, there's a lot to process and everyone has to find their own way to do it.

For me, part of the processing means really thinking about and discussing these questions written for white people by my colleague Tamika Butler:

  1. Do I understand that not being racist isn’t the same as being anti-racist?
  2. Why am I so afraid to be brave enough to confront my power and privilege?
  3. What am I waiting for to de-center whiteness and realize just because I have never experienced it (or seen the research to prove it) doesn’t mean it isn’t real?
  4. What am I doing every single day to force myself to think about racism and white supremacy?
  5. What am I doing every single day to stop the killing of black people?
I hope you will too.
