\nWhen white people fight for equality or to make safe spaces, they only do so for white bodies.
\nMost often forgetting that intersectionality<\/a><\/span> is a necessary component of safety for all. Race,
\nsexual orientation, socioeconomic background, disability, and nationality must be addressed in
\nthe quest to find a thriving inclusive community. Because the oppression of non-white people,
\nhas been the bases of growth for most white led companies, and the sole construct of the
\nsociety we live in today, we must all do are bit to dismantle and eradicate the white supremacist
\nthat live in our minds.<\/p>\n
The understanding of your limited view is the first step to reaching the awaking that we all so
\ncrave. Self-realization. We most all work to dismantling the patriarchy, for cis men this will come in
\nthe form of renouncing your privilege, recognizing your misogyny, the need to categorization
\nand who is deserving of what. Actively holding yourself accountable for these changes. For cis
\nwomen this will work in pushing the patriarchy out of certain aspects of your life, how you
\nperceive your sexuality, humanity, and purpose on this earth, and the support of cis white
\nideologies.<\/p>\n
For white LGBTQIA this comes in the form of recognizing how your whiteness allows
\nyou privilege that is not the same for your BIPOC brothers and sisters, and even though you
\nstruggle with identity and placement, there are certain factors that will never arise for you
\nbecause the world has been imperialized by white bodies. For the rest of us, it is dismantling the
\ninner workings of our patriarchal adjacent minds to fit into spaces that were not made for us,
\nand have been complacent in the working of white supremacy. We must take up the spaces we
\ndesire, to build a world made without the taint of white colonialism. Stand proud and true in
\nthyself because YOU ARE WORTHY. This is the part of the renouncement work we all must
\ndo.<\/p>\n
Let go of the old, broken, and corrupt, and use this space created by yourself to actualize your
\nhighest potential. We know that when the community is working in tandem our frequencies are
\nheightened. The subtleties that are left alone until they become big open raging wounds are
\nlooked upon more frequently, and with a greater understanding. The concept of self love
\nspreads from just the singular body into the communal one.<\/p>\n

\nchanting.<\/span> We must radicalize ourselves, to save our world. Now, don\u2019t get scared by the word
\nradical. It is so easy to think of it as one that is aggressive and fearful, because that is the
\nconditioning that has been put into place. Love is a radical idea. True love is the definition of
\nradical. The concept, the ideology is as safe as they come. The yoga in your mind must be able to see the worth of all sentient beings to see the worth of
\none. The one is you, the all is everybody else.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/omstars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/thumbnail_image004-200x300.jpg\")
