Episode 391 Mea Culpa

On this week's episode, I propose that mea culpa is a good place to start as we honor Black History Month. The Latin phrase mea culpa is an exclamation of apology or remorse, admitting that one has caused harm. For true racial healing to happen in this country, I long for us to own up to the threats, controls and discrimination embedded in our country's systems. I am relieved to notice more white people expressing their own forms of mea culpa, as they are dedicated to learning, open to admitting harm, and willing to take responsibility. That feels like a meaningful way to celebrate Black History Month. Check out the Show Notes for links to Marianne Williamson's proposal for reparations as well as an insightful IG account from Kellie Snider, an older white woman, who reminds white people to remain curious and disciplined in our current political climate.  Enjoy the podcast!  Links: Marianne Williamson talks about reparations IG: @kelliesnider.art
