I'd position myself in the active-advocate range of the ally continuum. I'm working on becoming a more active & anti-racist advocate, and that's part of what taking this course is about. I usually speak up in peer social situations when (other) white people make inappropriate or problematic comments or suggestions, but in situations where I don't myself feel comfortable and confident, or I know I'll face a lot of resistance, I have trouble doing so. I need to be better about speaking up all the time, about having the courage to disrupting power dynamics to do the right thing.
