Sharing stories of your evolution of consciousness is a much more authentic and compelling way to show your support and commitment to a more equitable and inclusive world than merely stating that you support and are committed to a more just and equitable world.
The latter might seem more powerful, more concise, more relevant, more committed. But without any personal backstory or context, these statements alone often come across as trite platitudes or insincere boilerplates that we've heard from a thousand other people.
We want to know how you've changed. How you've arrived at your present stance and world view.
We want to know what you used to think and do (or not think and not do), and what and why and how you learned to evolve your thinking.
Then, when we hear your current position, it's more believable.
When you're vulnerable with your past thinking, your mistakes, your embarrassing history, we are more likely to connect with you on a deeper level. We're more likely to trust that your current position is honest.
It's not always easy to explore and reflect upon the old you who wasn't aware of everything that the new you believes so strongly.
And, when you invest the effort to more accurately and humbly articulate your journey, you will make a greater impact.
