I use the Race Card project framework to update my racial autobiography occasionally, so it changes over time. Right now, I am struck by the urgency to unpack my White privilege and not waste time or energy on guilt. I didn’t make systemic racism but I know it exists to engineer some folks toward, and others away from, opportunity and advantage. I have to be actively taking it apart in my work and life. Daily.
