Privilege is often invisible to those who posses it because it represents the absence of obstacle. A collective of unearned advantages, social buffers and systemic benefits that pave an easier path through life.
There are times in life we have to make sacrifices, choices to support our kids, parents or a dear friend. Maybe there are 2 events happening at the same time and there is only 1 of me! What we don’t often see is the sacrifices we make automatically because we don’t know we have other options.
Ironically, we sit in the silence of our aloneness, not realizing that the answer is obvious… we need others to achieve anything great in the world. It’s time we notice what’s needed, ask what we can do, and most importantly, find those who can help us.
