The reading “This book is anti-racist” calls us to examine injustice and work toward oneness. It challenged me to reflect on my personal actions but also on how society treats those who are marginalized. It made me think more deeply about how I show up in the world and whether my actions truly reflect love and kindness.
While the book discusses how our race, background, and experiences shape who we are, I began to think about how identity goes even deeper than that of personality and physical traits. It’s more than saying “I like to bake” or “I’m optimistic. "These things are good, but I think they only describe our preferences and feelings, but they don’t fully define who we are at our core because at the end of the day preferences change and so do feelings. I believe true identity is grounded in a solid foundation, in our character, in how we treat others, in what we stand for, and in how we live. Identity isn’t just how we see ourselves, but how we live out our values in a fallen world in desperate need of truth, love, and justice.
The reading made me think about Elastic girl's quote on "The Incredibles"
