Racism becomes a thing that white people “fix” for others rather than something that is embedded in their own identity, relationships, and mental health.
But white supremacy doesn’t just harm those it marginalizes, it distorts, limits, and damages those it privileges, too. It teaches disconnection from humanity, an inflated sense of self-importance tethered to race, and a constant need to prove worth through dominance, productivity, and control. That’s not liberation.
That’s a prison of its own making.
The work, then, isn’t only about helping others, it’s about confronting the truth that white people have been shaped by, benefit from, and unconsciously perpetuate systems of harm. It’s about being willing to sit with the discomfort of complicity and the grief of recognizing our own psychological wounds.
Approaching conversations about race from this place changes everything.
It shifts the goal from “proving I’m one of the good ones” to engaging in mutual liberation. It invites honesty, humility, and a commitment to dismantling the system not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because our shared humanity depends on it.
If you are ready to move past guilt and denial into deep, sustained work, where we name the harm, challenge the systems, and hold each other accountable while building something better, this is your invitation.
Join me inside the PWO Community where we take questions like these and unpack them together, away from the performance of social media, in a space designed for vulnerability, self-reflection, and growth.
It’s time to approach this work with eyes wide open and with the courage to face not just what you’ve done, but what has been done to you.
