Would YOU do it? 😮

Let’s play a quick game.

I call it the “Magic Peacock Exercise.”

Imagine this is my magic peacock feather wand >>> 🪄🦚

This wand transforms your oppressed identity into a privileged one.

ABRACADABRA 💫

If you’re Black, you’re now White. If you’re queer, you’re now straight. If you’re a woman, you’re now a man. Oppression turns into privilege.

Now take a breath and answer this question:

Would you let me use my magic wand?

Let me guess your answer:

"Nope" or maybe even a "HELL NO!"

I’ve done this exercise a thousand times, and every single time, people clearly agree that they would not want this. So why is that when marginalized people have the option to have a more privileged life, they refuse?

You'd lose YOURSELF. 💔

Your essence, your beauty, your gifts.

Here is what people have shared: “I’d lose my culture," "I LOVE my sensitivity,” "I wouldn't be as resilient."

The very thing that hurts you can also be the very thing that’s your superpower.

Yes, n’betweeners are gifted with increased power.

It’s our ability to have an impact. It’s our courage, our creativity, our vulnerability, our empathy, our discernment, our clarity, and all of our unique skills.

And speaking of gifts, something new is coming that will support you in magnifying your superpower.

It’s Pride month; it’s Juneteenth. Let’s remember to celebrate the richness of our cultures.

💕🌈
