THIS BOOK. This work of fire & brilliance & truth needs to be required reading for every white cis woman (& humxn in the yoga or wellness world). I feel like most of my copy is underlined, but these words land the closest to home:
...
“If I am obsessed with being good & right, then I have no capacity to understand the ways in which I am an oppressed oppressor, nor will I understand those whom I oppress & do what is required to cause less harm & dismantle systems of oppression. You cannot be committed to being good & right & be anti-racist. It just ain’t gonna work, honey.”
...
“F*ck. Your. Intentions / Feel. Your. Impact.”
...
“You cannot name yourself an ally. Ever. The term is one that can be granted to you by the specifically oppressed group with which you seek to act as an ally.”
...
“The only true apology is changed behavior.”
...
“Practicing wise compassion & discernment in the name of racial justice is also a practice of disconnecting from collective fear & releasing the need to people please.”
...
“It is impossible to fully integrate ourselves under capitalist white supremacy because it inherently requires a disconnection of the mind & body / We need a revolution rooted in radical compassion, & we need to come together to create collective change. Now.”
...
“What we choose to do with our pain will define if & how we all survive.”
...
...
Buy this book (preferably buy black, indigenous, or local). Read, show up, reread, share, show up, mess up, apologize, & do better.
