Acknowledge Your Role in the System

Recognizing the innate human tendency to form groups, it is essential to transcend traditional views concerning race and gender with intentional efforts. Individuals must acknowledge their participation in existing systems, regardless of their ancestral history, and understand that their actions can influence these systems. The focus should shift from viewing systemic issues through an individualistic lens to a broader understanding of collective impact and responsibility. By doing so, one can identify and enact their role in addressing and transforming the system.
