Equity is an understanding of self, this sense of self being defined as both myself and the world at large. At the center of this sense of self is a radical and critical form of self-love. This love extends beyonds oneself to nurture both our own and collective growth. Equity and justice also means taking on the responsibility of continually feeling unsafe, it is a radical openness that means asking hard questions and having hard questions always asked of us. According to bell hooks, this place of radical openness is a margin—a profound edge, a place that is both difficult yet necessary to achieve true self-love. Rather than simply a skillset, course, or profession, equity and justice is an eternal and sacred practice of living that has been gifted from my ancestors, family, and mentors and has sustained the livelihood of our community for generations. It is an honor to continue this practice and pass this on to generations to come.
