This quote/concept by Dhakshy Sooriyakumaran hits right in the gut and is such a powerful lens through which I need to analyze my actions and choices.
I strive to learn as much as I can about race, gender, class, and oppression, and yet it's much, much harder to then translate those ideas into giving up space, power, platform, reputation, or position.
We are urgently working to bring more diverse voices around the table within our organization, which I think is at least a step in the right direction toward addressing this pattern.

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
