The subtle lesson? You can’t get away from them without turning yourself into a hermit.

Make choices based on your needs, not their moves. Do your best to look out for yourself and others. Live your life.

Welcoming public spaces are not bad. However, in this context marginalized community members are perpetually guests, made to assimilate & perform gratitude. Equitable public spaces create good ground for all of us to collectively establish values, vision & stewardship roles.

A welcoming public space is not the same as an equitable public space. A welcoming public space invites & represents marginalized communities. An equitable public space is co-created with & redistributes power to marginalized communities.

You are so welcome! 🤎🤎🤎
