Kelly-Ann Maddox | White Silence, White Fragility and Privilege | What is Our Spiritual Practice For? @kelly-annmaddox | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 12 minutes ago.
As a white spiritual person, deeply invested in the online witchy community, I have been in contemplation recently, and I want to share a portion of it here. (PLEASE be aware that at any point that I talk about 'raising our voices' as white people, I am talking about our voices amongst each other, sorting out the issues of racism in white consciousness, rather than raising our voices in BIPOC spaces, which is where white people are better off LISTENING and learning. BICOP stands for Black, Indigenous, People of Colour.)
