Alice is Alright

Necessary Disclaimer: I feel on the one hand, I could be criticized for talking so much about myself and what I did and that can bring into question if there are any ulterior motives to activism, which is something a lot of people seem to be dealing with. I am choosing to share these experiences with you to demonstrate growth in how I can become better so I just wanted to say that.

Young people are the future. They just need a little guidance and love and acceptance. I am so happy about making this my life mission. To help others discover their own voice. 

Inspired by the book "Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor" by Layla F. Saad, I will critically view the ways in which I am affected by and also perpetuate white supremacy. 

Today's topic is on White Privilege. 

"In order to dismantle white supremacy, you must understand how much white privilege is a key aspect of your life, how you benefit (whether knowingly or unknowingly) from your whiteness, what that means for people who do not receive that same benefit, and how you can dismantle it" Layla Saad.

Stop being passive and become an antiracist, recognize your inner racist and teach that bitch how to act right. You will never be perfect at it and expect to be wrong and vulnerable and uncomfortable. The movement starts with you. 

What is zoom anxiety and also about antiracism, a new series I am hoping to start on this podcast. 

“The woman who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet.”

Is this how clickbait works?
