Growing up as a white woman comes with undeniable privileges, including the initial trust of other white Americans. Many believe that they can turn to other white people to express their darkest, and most racist, thoughts. To be anti-racist, to me, is to not only stand up against racist sentiments but to use these experiences as an opportunity to explain the need for the Black Lives Matter movement. I look forward to discussing these issues with you all, while leveraging my background in Criminal Justice and Psychology to discuss the systemic causes of such modern-day issues.
