Understanding My Privilege
Sue Sorrego
1st generation college student
Didn't hear about privilege until college
Emancipated at 15yrs
didn't have health insurance
payment plan with dentist
$25/month gig
No home address or a home
faculty member comments about🤝 black urban families
high unemployment rate
headed by woman
underemployment rates
High teenage pregnancy rates
Raising her hand
Felt like person was talking about her white family
took a deep breath
Faculty member eyeballed her🤨
Don't ever 👐🏽compare herself to a black family
Doesn't matter if unemployment, underemployment, poor, Sue has the privilege of being white
Confused feelings
Horrified about faculty comment
wanted to crawl under desk
face flushed
looked down at book
wanted to hit the woman 😂
talk about poor😂
just breathed
Peggy McIntosh
🤞🏽Unaware of what "invisible package of unearned benefits" really meant until that day
Unpacking privilege
More space for humane world
A just world
Promise 👐🏽 if we all unpack
Examples
Daughter tries out for dance team
Matching hair pieces
matching makeup palette
matching flesh hose
only matched 1/3 girls
Ebony Card Series
before only white people on card
Now for black and brown colored moms
3yr old granddaughter
Mixed race
wanted hair blow dryer
Felt like a princess😢
