the word doc apologies are coming
“You can be someone who has no intention to be racist, but because you're conditioned in a world that is racist and a country that is structured in anti-Black racism, you yourself can perpetuate those ideas,” Ibram X. Kendi, author, historian and leading scholar of race and discriminatory policy in America. “No matter what color you are.”
“This quote was shared with me in conversation a couple of weeks ago, and has been sitting in my heart ever since. While we focus on systemic anti-Black racism in our country, I’ve been hesitant to center my voice. My work has been within but I now recognize and take responsibility for the times I was not the ally I am becoming today. Becoming anti-racist requires a personal reckoning, and I can’t in good faith continue to use my platform for progress without taking accountability myself.
“It takes a combination of individual and collective reckoning with our past to move forward together. Consider this my resignation from ignorance, and my declaration as an ally in action. I will give grace, make space and break these damn systems in place like my life depends on it… because too many do.
“Thank you to my guardian angels in life and online who have been gracefully guiding this growth of mine, and I thank God for my continued awakening.”
