these claims suggest openness and humility. I appreciate this feedback. This is very helpful. It’s my responsibility to resist defensiveness and complacency. This is hard, but also stimulating and important. Oops! It is inevitable that I have this pattern. I want to change it. It’s personal but not strictly personal. I will focus on the message and not the messenger. I need to build my capacity to endure discomfort and bear witness to the pain of racism. I have some work to do.
