We must start to rethink the “feel good” words that have been assigned to us BIPOC folks as results of a “cisnormative heteronormative imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchal society” (@lavernecox) ***see my previous post on “resilience” for further context. I feel like growing up I’ve always been inclusive in the sense that I always rooted for people who looked different than the “majority” - the “underdogs.” I don’t think I was purposefully or mindfully being inclusive, but rather I was subconsciously doing it for myself because I always saw myself in them, as the outcast, the outlier, the underdog. And I needed someone in the future to be able to see them selves in me and root for me as if they were rooting for themselves. According to Vu on NonProfit AF, “Toxic Self-Marginalization (TSM) is the deep entanglement of one’s identity with being marginalized, to the point where one is inclined to destroy anything that jeopardizes that identity.” . #underdog #underdogs #successstories #bipoc #wemadeit #imadeit #startedfromthebottom #narrative #languagematters #toxic #marginalized #poc #peopleofcolor #patriarchy #whitesupremacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAFGtapNIr/?igshid=1uenamza9vmd5
