Just because you're newly learning about the social injustices of the last several hundred years doesn't absolve you from the responsibility of actively addressing them.
Keep on your journey of learning and growing and immersing. But don't wait to take action and do the right thing.
There's nowhere to arrive, no final destination, no enlightenment, no magic potion you can drink that transforms you into suddenly "getting it."
Don't rely on your privilege to concoct excuses for why you are not taking action, why you are not challenging the status quo, why you are not disrupting dominant narratives.
Social justice work is not a game. Don't be a savior or a philanthropist or a performative ally. Don't try to be "woke."
You don't have to know everything to do something. If you learned something yesterday, apply it today. Even if you don't fully understand it.
Use your voice to drive impact and affect change. Question authority. Confront injustice. Demand equity. Absorb criticism. Act with conviction. Speak with confidence.
Start becoming the new you now. Start being decisive. Step into your new role. Stand up. Step up. And show up.
People on the downside of power don't have the luxury of waiting while you sit on your ass.
You know better. So do better.
