FOR WHITES (LIKE ME): Prelude

Posted by melissaicd on August 21, 2013

“Courage grows when we try something risky and hard, and come out on the other side more or less in tact. It becomes more “natural” the more we practice it. And when we do it enough to actually experience from-the-inside-out the liberation and freedom of not being silent, not compromising our moral compass, not swallowing our voice we start to crave liberation and freedom so deeply that acting and speaking with courage becomes almost a default position. Almost natural.”
