Talking about privilege is not about blame or blaming.

@darcigraves

It may mean you walked home –alone –at night –and did not think twice.

@darcigraves

It does not mean you did not work hard.

It may mean more doors were open to you.

@darcigraves

Privilege isn’t pointing fingers. We need to be aware of our privilege - ask questions about - do good with - our privilege.

@darcigraves

Talking about my privilege & my health means asking the question:

What if…

What if I didn’t have this privilege?

Privilege does not have to be something positive; it can simply be the lack of something negative.~ Violet Baudelaire

Privilege buys options. Privilege lets you die at home if that's what you want. Privilege brings healthcare to you. ~ Caroline Dawson, LMSW
