Very cool conversation, Lisa and Amanda. Thanks so much for going there …
Given the landscape of so much division in our country today, we need Dr. Amanda’s work more than ever! It is exhilarating to know that she has been able to pour her awesome skills set, experience and wisdom into the Academy framework in order to make her service resonate in far-reaching corners.
As a white woman I had the gift of living for a few years in Detroit, which is about 84% African American. It was there – surrounded in love and support by female friends of all color – that I learned about my “white privilege” and how insensitive and benignly ignorant I could be of the Black experience.
However, this “white privilege” is truly invisible if there is no opportunity to learn to see it. To have an understanding, no matter HOW minimal, is to rise above it and contribute to rich conversation and resolution. As educator and author Elizabeth Minnich, Ph.D. says: whites are taught to think of their lives as morally neutral, normative, and average, and also ideal, so that when we work to benefit others, this is seen as work that will allow “them” to be more like “us.”
When seen through this lens, one can imagine the enormity of the work before Dr. Amanda and how her world service is at the forefront of creating peace and understanding. Thank you!
