Right now, you don't need me. You don't need a white, privileged woman talking to you. Things are too big, too scary, too heartbreaking, and too real for me to be the one talking.
What I need right now is to listen. I'm muting myself, and listening.
So, to that end, here are some people I'm listening to and learning from, with their Instagram handles in case you want to join me:
Rachel Cargle (@rachel.cargle)
No White Saviors (@nowhitesaviors)
Rachel Ricketts (@iamrachelricketts)
Ibram X. Kendi (@ibramxk)
The Conscious Kid (@theconsciouskid)
Austin Channing Brown (@austinchanning)
Nicole Cardoza (@nicoleacardoza)
There are many, many more. Email or DM me and let me know who you're listening to and learning from. I want to learn with you.
The podcast this week is a long moment of silence. 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence, in fact. I'd love to sit with you and be with you for that.
