Whiteness, Patriarchy, and the Violence That Follows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before you read on, there are two specific individuals here on Substack that need to be thanked and shown lots of love. Don’t get me wrong, there are many, many more who are actively advocating and fighting against white supremacy and patriarchy. But these two inspired me to write this. First, I want to shout out to for fighting for women and girls and helping us to see the role of patriarchy and the violence it represents. Then there is the amazing who works tirelessly not only to teach about w
Stop Bringing Whiteness into Black Spaces (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear white people,I write this to you because of something I have noticed that a lot, and I mean a lot of white people continue to do. Oh, by the way, I am white. What I see happening is white people enter black spaces, and I am writing specifically about Substack, but this also includes all social media, to criticize, correct, object, and at times bring their white supremacist ideology in to invalidate the lived experience of the Black writer.

Inside the Writing of “Learning to See Whiteness” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I didn’t begin this book with a tidy outline or a clear thesis. I began it because I kept noticing how white people, including me, struggle to see ourselves with any real honesty. We can talk about racism in the abstract. We can talk about systems, laws, and history. We can talk about privilege in a way that feels almost academic. But when the conversation turns toward the emotional habits whiteness builds in us, most white people lose their footing. I did too. I spent years believing I could un
The Emotional Life of Whiteness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For most white people, talking about whiteness feels like trying to grab smoke. We don’t talk about it because we don’t think about it. I certainly didn’t. For decades, my whiteness was the quiet backdrop of my life, unquestioned, unexamined, and comfortably invisible to me. I moved through the world believing I was simply “a person,” not a racialized one, and it took years of discomfort, mistakes, and honest reflection to understand how deeply whiteness had shaped my instincts, my relationships
