When you hear “white supremacy” and “racism” and “slavery,” you think: Wow, what was done to Black people is horrible. But understand that it was actually also killing you. It is spiritually killing for a white person to believe that they’re superior in some way to another divine human being. That is a spiritual deficiency; that is a disconnection to your power and to who you are. That has robbed you of your own humanity as well. That’s why this work is global. It’s not just for Black people; it’s for anyone who needs to disrupt and push back and heal. Tricia Hersey
