I h ave walked through the world in white skin and I have become increasingly aware of the ways in which my life has been easier as a result. As a school counselor, I have had many conversations with students of color about what they are experiencing in the classroom, often under the radar and it is unfair and heartbreaking. As a woman, I have experienced some sexism: being talked over by men, being seen as less effective than men, sexist comments, so I have a slight inkling of my students experience, but my whiteness has always given me a leg up.
