I would like to say I am farther than I am, but I somewhere between Aware and Active - closer to Active. I hope to continue to grow and learn and do more without prompting.
I feel the same. One thing I'm struggling with is how to be an anti-racist without being a "savior" or one of the "good ones" - the term used in one of the explanation videos. It's so hard to balance sometimes and know when to step in, what to say and how to handle it. I think I would be much more confident in speaking up in a situation where there are white people only ( I am white) and one person makes a racist comment as opposed to a situation in which I am witness to a white person making a racist comment to a person of color directly. What if that person does not want my help? How do I know? I also would not want them to feel uncomfortable. I am learning a lot but it's certainly an ongoing process.
I feel the same. I would love to be able to say that I'm at Advocate but I pretty much go between Aware and Active. Lately, some of the things I have been doing is more toward Active, but I'm still very nervous about having these conversations and doing this work when I don't have trust or a relationship with the other person. I think that is holding me back more than anything.
