The “B” is implied but gets overlooked when we use shorthand such as DEI. There is so much learning, depth, and nuance that lies beneath such encapsulations. Belonging is the odjective we seek when practicing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Much gratitude to @janessasaidso for beautifully bringing this home. 🙏🏼💜 #Repost @janessasaidso ・・・ Thank you to @barrierisman & @melhappytree of @happytreeyoga for hosting me for the inclusive leadership curriculum of your yoga teacher training. It was a pleasure to be of service to you and all the students who were able to attend. I hope the discussion was an eye-opening experience that the path to liberation takes all of us, and belongs to all of us. Leadership is modeled in all the ways we show up authentic and using all the ways in which are privileged to help make way for others who may not be. #leadingbyexample #diversityandinclusion #powerandprivilege #yogateachertraining #300houryogateachertraining #yogatraining https://www.instagram.com/p/CPygplmjakn_vCACyhMGyO33CsXTVs2GXeW1ns0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rather than make this somber day a once a year observance, make it a practice. Daily. Yes, many words to read and reflect upon (I’ve spared you all my own wordy reply to @janessasaidso!). It takes work, a lot of work, with a myriad of tiny steps, that will be completed by others beyond most of our lifetimes, to build a cathedral. But we must continue or start. It’s critical to our humanity. I often use a reflection that I consider to be a prime directive for all biological life: go forth and propagate the species; all else is commentary. Now go: learn, do, and teach the work. Think of anti-racism work as a component of the propagation of the human species. Future generations and their very existence depend on it. #Repost @janessasaidso ・・・ Stop Scrolling and Read. There is no one ANTIRACIST certification course that will fix this. There’s no DEI, EID, DBE, D&I bookclub that will stop racist behavior overnight. There is no checklist that will absolve a nation from reacting to the conditions it had cultivated. But there’s still so much more work to do. I believe that It takes the practice of decentering “whiteness.” Whiteness as an ideology which does not always mean the whiteness of a skin color. The kind of ideology that to be treated well, acceptable and valued you need to be more “white.” I challenge people to think about the whiteness in them, the “white” ideals they uphold, the “white” they portray instead of finding empathy via unmasking of “blackness.” I know this may go over people’s heads or may not sit well with many “online educators” but I’m more interested in how we (all of us) move through the world unconsciously validating supremacy. Because teaching people to identify/empathize with a group of people with no lived experience of walking a mile in their shoes is too big of an ask for many in a society filled with selfishness. #powerandprivilege It’s called cultivating opposites. It’s a lifelong practice. It’s like brushing your teeth, it’s habitual. It’s like breathing, it’s necessary for the sustainability of humanity.
