How can a conversation that centers and emphasizes whiteness be effective in dismantling a paradigm that asks us to do the same?

There is so much in the Collective Experience that is categorically unsustainable. And yet as a whole, we tend to favor certainty over the unknown. We cling to what is - because we don’t know what the unknown may bring.

To me, Genius is a neutral thing. It’s not about being better or worse than anyone else; it’s about standing in the fullness of your own self. When Genius, and more specifically when Black Genius, is grown in an environment of white supremacy that becomes a challenging thing to do.
