"We don't have reparations in America because no one's sorry about what happened. If we were truly sorry, we would freely liberate resources back to the wronged people... We need a complete paradigm shift around our history." #SelfToSystems
"Closing the race wealth gap will not be caused by sprinkling grant dollars here and there. What we need to do is change the policies that got us here in the first place." #SelfToSystems
Equity is about power - not equal access. Critical conversation today with @VillanuevaEdgar on decolonization orgs - SO powerful! #selftosystems@BKpub .
"White relatives who are engaging today: don't expect people of color to teach for free... what differentiates the allies who give me energy from the allies who wear me out, is whether the ally work comes with strings attached." #SelfToSystems
"When white women take the intellectual capital of women of color who have been doing the work of this movement, laying the foundation, that can be detrimental." #SelfToSystems
In the work of decolonization, indigenous people must be centered in the work. The same for black people. We must uplift their leadership and stop co-opting the work that they have been doing for years. @VillanuevaEdgar#selftosystems
"As sexy as the word 'decolonization,' has become, it actually is grueling work... the way we become brave enough to step into that, is to understand what's waiting on the other side of the process: healing, liberation, relationship." #selftosystems
