Little White Lives is my personal story about growing up racist. Here, I document in chronological order how the foundation was laid for me to be a racist starting literally from the womb. It isn't an excuse for myself or others like me to explain away that we cannot help ourselves or that it's not our fault what happened "way back then.” My goal is to show by example how to get to the root of the problem as an individual, expose it, then share it in order to heal ourselves and others.
This is also the inspiration to a much larger body of work in progress. My hope is to bring understanding to others about white privilege, white supremacy, and provide resources to help white people to understand themselves and how whiteness came to be. I believe we can all demonstrate and learn together how we “white” people have a large part to play to extinguish racism in our country.
