Bring Sound to the Silence
The Antiracist White Chick: Episode 8
Let’s talk White Silence in under 90 seconds. Silence of any kind can be painful; being seen or heard is a basic human need. Yet when we White folks are silent in our actions, in our words, in our lives, and on social media, we cause pain to People of Color. Silence hurts but our silence can actually kill. It’s time to bring sound to the silence.
