113 I Can Do Better, I Will Do Better

Black Lives Matter

I’ll start with something that I saw Netflix post about…

To be silent is to be complicit.

Black lives matter.

We have a platform, and we have a duty to our Black members, employees, creators and talent to speak up.

I’ve not been overly vocal, for fear of getting it wrong,⠀

But I also don’t want to stay silent.⠀

I’m sure many of you can echo that sentiment.

It’s not often that I think about my own privilege as a white woman, but then again my daily life protects me from the daily fears that others live with.⠀

To be here… to be comfortable… to be podcasting… that is a privilege.

To be here… to be comfortable… to have a platform… that is a privilege.

To be here, to be comfortable, to feel safe… that is a privilege.

But it shouldn’t just be a privilege that some can tap into.

It should be for all.

Equity in opportunity to create, to live and to express is deserved by all. I want to meet my vision of helping 7 billion people to live and lead their most visionary life, but we cannot do that without equality

I get in a car without the fear of being pulled over… I set out on a run without worrying about which route I will take…. But this is not everyone’s reality.⠀

And that’s not okay.⠀

One of the core values of my business Visionary Life is that Visionary Thinking Changes the World-- and this is a time when we need you, me and our communities to put on their thinking cap to see HOW we are going to shift this.

It’s taken too long to find justice.This is a lesson in so many ways.

What I know for sure is that Equality Is Deserved by All. Especially for BIPOC who have not had it.⠀

That will ONLY change when we each do the work. Individually. When we drop our ignorance. When we stand up for injustice.⠀When we listen to the voices of those who have not been heard.

I know that I need to step up.

I need to invest in learning from BIPOC and understanding how I can support the change.

I need to take a critical eye as to how I can transform myself and my business, and how I am contributing to the lack of equality that I say I am not okay with. I need to take ownership.⠀

I need to do my homework

And it’s unacceptable that it has taken the current state of affairs for me to make this priority.⠀

It’s inexcusable.⠀
