In a meeting at work today, we were asked to look at these images and choose one we identified with. I chose image 2, and shared that I identified with it because I’ve been doing a lot of self reflecting these past 72+ hours. And very quickly into those 72+ hours, I realized how much ignorance I have and how I have so, so much to learn. I’ve been proactive by ordering books, taking part in uncomfortable conversations, and listening to when someone expresses why they are upset and angry with something I did. It’s not easy work but my foot is on the gas pedal and it’s not letting up❤️ *Also, if you know the creator of any of these images, please let me know so I can tag them. Thank you❤️

Black lives matter. Things I’m doing TODAY to further educate myself, bring equality to black lives, and protest racism and police brutality: - Listening and giving space for black voices to be heard - Reading articles - Attending a White Justice Seekers workshop - Sharing resources

Last night I posted a photo supporting anti-racism. For the most part, the comments were supportive and appreciative of my message. A black woman did point out that posting a picture of myself was not what was needed to be seen - and she’s right. It’s not. I am grateful this woman said something. I stick by my caption (below) but saw my post from her point of view, and felt I needed to change the picture because it was of me. I admit posting a picture of myself was ignorant now that I look back. I’m learning from my mistakes, growing, having hard conversations, taking action, and have ordered books to read so I can further educate myself. So, if you’re reading this Kay, thank you. I support you💗 Original post: I’m white. I grew up in a predominately white and affluent community. Out of my high school class with I believe 300+ kids, I think there were 3 black students. I have white privilege. I know people who don’t know me look at me and immediately think, “Ok, she’s harmless”. It’s not fair that people make that assumption about me but make completely racist and unfair assumptions about others. It angers me and makes me so sad and sick. I know I will never understand what it means to be racially discriminated against in this country but I see, hear, support, and stand by my black friends, students, colleagues, community members, and fellow Americans. Kyle and I have been talking a lot about our white privilege and what we can do to continue to be anti-racist. I am so grateful to work at a school where we have these conversations as a community and are challenged into uncomfortable conversations. Yes, uncomfortable. But that’s where the growth is. It starts with us, and what’s in our hearts, the thoughts we think, the words we speak, and our actions. I can’t make a change for the black community if I don’t start with myself and go from there. I see you and I will continue to stand by you and do everything I can to make this country better. *If you know who the creator of this image is, please leave their name in the comments so I can give them credit. Thank you.
