Thank you so much to Dimensions Consulting and our colleagues from the Women Dismantling Racism cohort for pushing us to learn and grow over the last 8 months. Being in the work and led into the work, guided and provoked to grow, invited to ally and shown what accompliceship might truly be as white women has been deeply transformational. Ask us about this work, what we have learned, and why it is that we have struggled with anti-racism, white supremacy culture and learning to mitigate our own biases and racist tendencies. It will be a joy and challenge to reflect with our community on what we learned and what we are still learning every day--because this is not today's work but every day's challenge as we strive to make the world a more equitable, fair and just place for everyone. Thank you to our dear friends and colleagues, to our facilitators and to our teachers for making the practice of our reflection ever more meaningful as we continue to grow.
Remember--taking time to examine and reflect on your racism, your responsibility, your biases, your mis-steps is not a pause from the work. It is the work. These are the words of Mary White Ovington, American socialist, suffragist, journalist, and co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and if there were ever a time when we were in need of her teaching, it is now.
