Get in the habit of taking space — unapologetically speaking, writing, creating, and sharing — with clarity and conviction — for no other purpose than claiming the space allotted to you at birth.

We live in a society that gives more space to some than to others. This is called privilege. Although privilege feels automatic, built into the structure of reality, it’s not. Privilege is constructed, and it can be deconstructed.

If those with privilege — white, male, wealthy, for example — won’t use their space to deconstruct an unjust system, those to whom space is denied will eventually deconstruct that system from the outside by any means necessary.

Each and every child of the universe has the right to their allotted space. No more. And certainly no less.

Novel coming later today. I’ll post a link in tomorrow’s post, where I’ll continue audaciously taking up space.
