I struggle with this sometimes, too. Right now, with what’s going on in the world, I’m doing more research, listening more to the people whose voices we must listen to and sometimes it gives me a similar feeling: kicked in the gut because I can see myself in some of it. I see my own failings again and again and it is TERRIFYING. And I have to keep going because I know my terror about the roots of the “isms” that live within me are NOTHING compared to the terror some populations are subjected to. There is no excuse for me to hide from these feelings or avoid them when other people don’t get that luxury.

I’m so grateful for those open-minded people like you who are so determined to make this world a better place.

Thank you so much. xoxo
