All I know, is that I don’t really know anything. I find myself in these crazy times being absolutely ignorant on the matter. And I do not like it.

I don’t feel privileged, maybe because I’m a woman living in a third world country where a woman is killed every 23 hours. But with this, I find that I am, and I need to acknowledge that so I can bring people up with me. I feel like there’s a scale on privilege, and the more white and more male you are the higher you are on that scale. This needs to stop. We fight this together, recognizing where we stand, and going up, all of us, as equals.

If you’re feeling something similar, let’s educate ourselves, so we can try our best to understand (even if we might never reach a 100% of understanding), and help in any way we can. It’s the only path to go, the only thing that’s right. 

I’m sharing all of this resources I found. I didn’t make this list, but I found it helpful.

Please, if you read this and find something offensive about what I said, bring it up to my attention gently. As I said, I am ignorant, but I don’t want to be, I want to learn.

Here’s the link to the original list to check for updates.
