“Whites who are given access into POC spaces (yes being a white person with access to heavily POC spaces is a sacred privilege) and who have POC folks in their life who are willing to go against the cultural narrative that says, you can’t trust white people, must honor this privilege by making themselves malleable to correction. Being an ally is not an identity it is a process. There is no Maslow hierarchy of allyship. There is no level of self-actualization in being an anti-racist ally that renders you above reproach and critique.”
