Marian’s Story

Healing from and releasing my “whiteness" - the mostly unconscious, internalized manifestation of white supremacy — is a long and liberating journey. As I belatedly but insistently awaken to the roots in my own lineage of the system that co-created and perpetuated whiteness in this country, the path to reckoning and repair is revealed, bit by bit. Through this process, I am graced with miraculous partnerships with Black and Indigenous peoples whose ancestors suffered, and whose contemporary communities continue to suffer unconscionable violence at the hands of white supremacy. Prayer, meditation, ceremony, ritual, and community guide me on the path of meaningful action. As more and more stories (like Hilary’s) are told, we find greater courage to do this essential work.
