Build a Bigger Table

March 8, 2023

A collaged index card, divided diagonally. On the left is color and body elements, including a painted hand; on the right is black and white words.

It’s International Women’s Day, and just over a week after Black History Month ended.

My thoughts today for those who have more privilege: Be quiet for a moment. Listen—listen to hear, to understand, to learn. Trust that those who ask for your support actually do know what they need, and do what you can to realize those needs.

Challenge racism and sexism and transphobia and bigotry. Pass the mic. Vote. Do your own work to undo your biases, however and wherever they appear.

Be less defensive, and lean into growth. Empower. Lift up.

And love, unconditionally.

A Note

You matter. You’re loved. And, just so you know, creativity belongs to every single one of us. It’s a human birthright.
