[Libs-Or] Even More on White Privilege

Fri Mar 3 10:36:13 PST 2023

Matthew,
Such an excellent manner in presenting these data. I thank you for it. I
REALLY appreciate the call in to talk to other white folks, so as not to
continually burden our BIPOC colleagues.
As a cis, white, Lesbian mom, I am always in learning mode. I trip up, YES
I DO, and I still learn and hope I am growing. As I try to lead my team to
anti racist perspectives, I have gratitude for the rich resources offered
from our EDIA committee and their efforts. It feels big, but it takes ONE
PERSON AT A TIME. One conversation at a time. One article at a time. One
exercise at a time. One movie at a time. My practice is to stay in the
present for each opportunity to immerse myself in the myriad issues we NEED
to learn to do right and dismantle centuries of harm.
In solidarity,
Holly Freewynn
