Being well-intended is not enough...

A few things resonated with me. I like the way Chesca Leigh made it clear that privilege was not associated with wealth or an easy life which I think many people believe it is. The analogy of the horse with blinders on is perfect…there’s just a lot of stuff on the sides that I just don’t have to see because of who I am.

Victoria Gasparowicz makes several good points about transferring the benefits of your privilege to those who lack it as well as acknowledging that while you may feel the pain the conversation is not about you.  

As Jennifer Brown points out… being well-intended is not enough.
