There’s a powerful juxtaposition in our world that I want to discuss and explore. This life is filled with beauty. It’s bursting with joy, if you choose to look for it and to let it in. At the same time, so much of our world is governed by unjust power structures and systems of oppression. The more one delves into these topics, like colonisation, capitalism, sexism, racism, xenophobia and so on, the more intertwined our understanding of these topics become. No longer as separate concepts, but as intersectional structures and ideologies that feed off of each other. In order to begin to understand the insidious ways in which they permeate all corners of our society, we must critically analyse where we get our information from and who shapes our perspectives. For white people, it’s imperative that we seek out diverse voices and truly listen when people with less privilege speak about the oppression they face.
