@yeahthatkaite That last option is the more fun option but probably less effective. Thank you for taking the time to give advice! I hadn’t thought about starting something on my own

Need advice. I’m struggling to break through to my HR department of one middle aged white woman on taking real action in light of the BLM movement. Our office is predominantly white. I feel like the only white person in the office to bring up this topic for discussion is me.

She then told me about how all our warehouses and Canada team is diverse.

I’ll add that she is a justifier and invalidates me. Here’s an example. There are 3 out of about 60 in our office that are POC. When I brought up that our office is mostly white she immediately started spouting off our stats about how we’re “actually very diverse”

In trying to stay caught up with the world, don’t leave yourself behind. You cannot help others if you do not care for yourself.

Then the thing that settles the debate is when the famous architect in the city steps up and says “I’ll make the most beautiful fire escapes you’ve ever laid your eyes on”

Everyone in city hall stands up and cheers

I wonder if it was ever a divided issue whether or not to implement legally mandated fire escapes.

I’m imagining one side being appalled that anyone would want to tarnish the look of their gorgeous cityscape. The opposing side being like “but like people have to jump out their windows in a fire?”

Reading Untamed by Glen Doyle is empowering. My caged animal is like this dude:

Am I a monster? I ask myself when I don’t fit into the tin laid out in front of me. Will I hurt and hurt others if I refuse to fit in? I know the pain I feel in the tin. So I step in. That way I can know for sure that only I will hurt. I can handle my pain.

Right?
