I Spy Something White

TEDxRitenourRoad
• January 2019
Dr. Stephanie Afful discusses the need for racial identity development in whites, as a necessary means to recognizing the privileged spaces we occupy. This society is normed on white privilege, which means that white people can afford to and therefore avoid acknowledging or thinking about race. Afful discusses the difficulty in acknowledging our race and privileges and encourages listeners to not only acknowledge the water we swim in but also to make WAVES by Witnessing that oppression and privilege exist, take Action, use your Voice, practice Empathy, and always be a Student.
