Taking a Stand

I choose to do better and hold myself to a higher standard. I am accountable for my actions and my thoughts. I am also held accountable for the actions and words of the people I choose to surround myself with. (Guilty by association, complicity)

So, I can no longer and I will not tolerate or continue to perpetuate prejudice and discrimination.

This means:

• I will continue to acknowledge how my thoughts, words, and behaviors (conscious and unconscious) IMPACT others.
• I commit to educate myself on how I participate in harmful narratives and behaviors against others.
• I choose to actively work on dissolving those thoughts, conversations, and actions in myself.
• That I will distance myself from people who willingly choose to spread harm. I will gently call your attention to it but if you choose to not even consider it, I will step back as I can no longer enable behaviors that harm others.
• I will still love you and find compassion for your perspective. I will still value you deeply. <3
• I will make myself available for growth conversations.
