Last year, I helped create SPACE to continue the conversations that are brought up in the media and by movements such as the current one.
If your community is mostly white, it is not by accident. Do your work, get real, look at the places you've been avoiding. Ask another white person the question you've been unsure about asking. See how you're perpetuating the system of institutional racism; we all are. Become intimately familiar with your role and explore the places within yourself that hold you back. Can you be yourself a little more? You do this work and people of Colour will naturally want to engage with you. Why? Because through feeling and exploring your ignorance, you've created a genuine opening for my reality. Stepping into this unknown means carving out space for my existence. - Kelsey Blackwell
