We talk about race all the time. We speak volumes with our silence, unspoken rules and expectations in every way we engage the world. The restrictive codes, along with the permissions of oppression and privilege that uphold the construct of race, racism and systemic racism in America, are hidden in plain sight.

When truth is spoken, education occurs and we engage in authentic relationships, white supremacy culture and characteristics that we all participate in, are revealed. Truth, education and authentic relationships expose the injustices, just like a blacklight reveals our surroundings hidden in plain sight, so that we may have a clearer understanding of ourselves and who we are in our world.
