Check My Privilege

You know I am a lifelong learner. I am also White European-American, upper middle class, able, cisgender, heterosexual, female. I just turned 50 and live in the megalopolis of San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California. Other facets of my identity, in roughly the order they manifested, include: atheist-humanist; progressive; clinically depressed; married; parent; homeschooler.

I have enormous privilege, and strive to recognize and address this, in my living and in my work.

A lot of what I write is narrowly targeted at others like myself, people with a lot of identity privilege, to help them see and acknowledge their privilege and rebuild their identity around a core understanding of and action for social justice, primarily racial and climate justice.
