Last year, my understanding of racism shifted from comfortable falsehoods such as "I'm not racist so there's nothing for me to fix" or "Racism was a big problem in the past" to understanding that it's a systemic problem that we all live in and that we have a duty to be anti-racist to change/dismantle the systems that are steeped in racism.]]> 2021-04-07 17:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392714948 https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392715131 2021-04-07 17:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392715131 https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392715831 Recognizing my own racist thoughts when my community was impacted by land protests; seeing my privilege in an "invisible backpack" activity.

It always felt like a given considering my lived experienced of experiencing racism. Throughout life the layers and multiplicity of racism and its impact in my life became clearer and the imperative to make an impact so folks don't have to experience the same challenges I did became even stronger]]> 2021-04-07 17:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392718183 https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392720693 For me the tipping point was the racism against Muslim people and against East Asians, especially after the COVID.]]> 2021-04-07 17:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392720693 https://padlet.com/janjolee/mxjpnanmaew4omdi/wish/1392722572 Seeing systemic and intuitional racism in youth, child welfare and correctional settings.
