Stand
June 10, 2020"I understand that I will never understand. But I stand."
It captures the place of accepting and learning about my white privilege. I stand with my community, I stand for learning about myself and how I can be a better human and hopefully teach my sons to be better humans and be honest with themselves about their privilege and mistakes they are making. I am sure I have made mistakes, I am sure I will make more but I want to stand with my local community, my maker community, my world to try and do better.
Some of the resources that I want to share for this post include:
New BIPOC in Fiber directory that just launched. Many powerful conversations that happened in the past year in the fiber community. This is a great resources to support BIPOC fiber makers.
The Drunk Knitter launched a MKAL book club for The Bluest Eye
Go Fund Me for Henry Kirklin grave marker, an important African American entrepreneur and farmer in my community. Thank you to a fellow fiber friend that shared this today. I learned more about Henry and the impact he had on my community.
