✨It really is simple- for any systemic change to occur we first need to start with our personal and professional communities. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
✨It is time to start having tough conversations that might feel uncomfortable at first. However, you will only grow as an individual when you learn to sit with the discomfort. We need to put in the work by engaging in the following steps:⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
1. SELF AWARENESS 
Recognizing your own antiracist ideologies.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
2. SELF EDUCATION 
What do you know? What don’t you know? What would you like to learn?⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
3. SELF REFLECTION 
Reflecting on what you have been taught. What are you holding onto?.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
4. ACTION / MAINTENANCE
 Now that you are more educated and will continue to educate yourself, what are some steps you’re going to take to be an advocate?⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✨Although I might have been provided this strong educational foundation as a child and through my career as a Psychologist, I am STILL learning every day.  I am constantly reflecting, educating myself and advocating in the work that I engage in, personally and professionally.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✨Remember this is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Let’s continue to learn, reflect, educate and advocate 🙏🏽💚.⁣⁣⁣⁣
