The silence was LOUD
My husband and me in the supermarket check out line.
A cashier in Lowes literally asked me and my partner if we were best friends 🥲
"It’s really hard—as we’ve seen especially in the last year—for white people to show up in non-white spaces or even in white spaces and not make everything about themselves. You have to decouple your intent from your impact and you have to decouple your desires from what the actual needs are. If you just want to be seen as the woke white lady, that’s not the same as being an anti-racist. If you want to be seen as a friend, that’s not the same as being actively pro-queer-folks.
You have to step back and say “Is my voice needed here? If so, in what way is it needed? And how am I able to amplify the message that’s already here?” rather than stepping in and saying “This is my white lady message!”
For example, Latino publications contact me about coverage all the time. So I’ll be like “Yes, I’m happy to be on your list of whatever. Who else is on your list? Is it all Latinas who look like me? Because I can point you to four or five Afro-Latinas who are doing the same thing.”
