💛First, how do I REALLY see signs of white privilege & some of it’s effects daily:
-Do I have a diverse circle of coworkers?
-Do most typical children’s toys/books look like me?
-Does the beauty industry perpetuate a certain look of beauty over others?
-How movies and shows portray more white people over POC?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛Do I understand white privilege & how deep it’s ingrained?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛What was I taught regarding different races in my country growing up by teachers, family and friends?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛What are my current beliefs about POC? What beliefs may I be ignoring?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛Am I actively ANTI-racist or just consider myself “not racist”?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛If not, how can I start being actively anti-racist in my daily life with friends, family, coworkers etc?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛And even if I DID already notice many of these things already every day-why have I not been more vocal in their injustice?

Journaling is calling ourselves out on our bullshit which is why most people dislike journaling 🤷🏼♀️
Dig in, and get clear 💞
Save for reflection later
