Fight the urge to judge unfamiliarity

Lucie Horvath,

Given my white privilege, practicing humility is so important when it comes to educating and trying to improve myself. I am not in a position to make assumptions about other people and their experiences, but still, unlearning my instinct to judge differences is an ongoing process. In order to make our society welcoming to all, we must have an open mind, listen to the oppressed, and do whatever we can to treat all as equals.
