As a white American, I am incredibly privileged. I am incredibly lucky that the only profiling/unfair disadvantages that will ever touch my life in the slightest is that I’m a woman. I cannot imagine.
What happened was atrocious, what’s been happening is atrocious. I’ve gotten messages and comments saying that I’m being silent when, to be honest, amongst all of this I am trying to learn how to be the best ally I can be. As a 20 something from a small farm town, this is something that, again, I am very privileged to not have these experiences of my own.
Some of you will comment that this is not my arena to talk about, and to focus on fitness. As someone in healthcare, as well as fitness, I recognize that to consider real health is to consider the individual (holistically).
So, I’m going to be better. I know we can sign petitions, write letters, donate to organizations, but how else can we be a better ally? Please teach us.
