Uncomfortable with privilege born of whiteness

Tamara Hoier,
Durango, CO

I was born into some blessings and acquired more because I was born in a “good” zip code, and am well educated, tall, blond, and reasonably attractive. I am never insulated from these facts and their outcomes for others. I have tried to counterbalance these outcomes with resource sharing, neutralizing “opportunity hoarding” for family by mentoring and coaching other children, and being kind, really trying to “see” the person in my presence. I know I am entwined with all people. That is always on my mind as well.
