We’ve been managing polarities or points of tension our whole lives “until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung #sbla20

Had a great time with the @StartingBloc family today. Gives me hope that we are closer to building a world where everyone can live out their self-determined life without limitations or barriers!

“People of color do not need to be saved. We just need the resources and need people to get out the way.” Joyell Arvella grounding us in advancing equity and transformative justice. #sbla20

[StartingBloc @StartingBloc]

Systems are made up of:
👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 Individuals
👭 Interpersonal interactions
🗣 Cultural norms and messages
🏢 Institutions

They all coalesce together. What’s important is that we name systems in order to disrupt them. #sbla20

[StartingBloc @StartingBloc]

What is “the system” and what it does it mean to you?

Some of our fellows answered:
- “Source of power that requires collective effort to go against”
- “Corruption, bureaucracy, and power”
- “Judicial, physical, and social infrastructure that makes up our society”

@nzorach Love that energy! 🙏

How might we implement more liberating structures in our well intentioned organizations working on diversity but lack the scaffolding, training, and resources for true equity and inclusion? How might we not retraumatize the oppressed? #sbla20

“Be consistent with continuing to unlearn, continue challenged - be more mindful that you have the cabability to move forward. We all have something to do.” ✨ #sbla20
