I have been listening to Another Round podcast obsessively lately, it's uncomfortable because they talk a lot about race, and I am uncomfortably aware of white privilege... Heben and Tracy were talking about allies in the most recent episode I listened to, I find the term strange... I do consider myself an ally to the LGBT+ community, people of colour, refugees, and of course women's rights, overall I guess you could say that I believe that all humans deserve equality, regardless... But I hesitate to use the word ally, because none of the work I do, or words I speak on those topics are about me...
Then I stumbled on this, which reminded me about the book I read which compared sayings of spiritual leaders, and I love it...
Ultimately life is about being a good human, doing what you can to rise up others... I don't need a label for that... It's action...
