“When someone is sharing that their experience of the world is dramatically different because they do not experience a privilege I experience, it’s my job to listen, to hear, and most of all, to not try to explain their experience away, to not deny it because it makes me uncomfortable or because I feel personally implicated in the group or groups that hold oppressive power.” -Audette Fulbright
