It has been my experience that White people who do racial equity work are either like my mother—people who have a vested stake in the ground because of a very intimate personal relationship—or they are like the mom of the girl on the “other” team. White people who stay in the work stay engaged because they are already bonded in a relationship with someone who is personally impacted. They CHOOSE to bind themselves to a person or to a group of people they see is impacted.
