Thank you so much for your wisdom and this incredibly valuable perspective. ❤️

I'm thinking about how this also applies to the savage, ongoing experiences for Indigenous Australians and the impossibly high rates of incarceration and deaths in custody here.

I absolutely believe that white people can "un-white" and retain dignity and identity. You are a shinning example. Thank you.
