Where Have We Been?
Whew, this has been a crazy year for us all, am I right?! I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to grasp the concept that this pandemic isn’t just something that we experienced in our small hometowns, our states, or even just our own nation. To try and wrap our heads around the fact that this is something that all of humankind has experienced together is quite nearly impossible. But here we are!
Although neither Ashley nor I can begin to understand the pain and suffering that others have gone through this past year with the pandemic, all of the racial injustice, war, and so much more, the chaos of it all definitely did affect us to some degree as well. We’ve both had quite a bit of chaos, both good and bad, throughout the last six months, but we can talk about that another time! After getting our debut book ‘What is Privilege?’ out into the world, we reached a state of … what’s next? We knew we hadn’t done enough, but was what we were doing even making a difference?
This isn’t meant to be a “poor us” message, but to own up to the fact that while we began to question our progress, and if we even had a right to be doing what we were trying to accomplish, we backed away and got quiet. While we never once lost the drive or the deep rooted desire to make changes, we lost sight of how to best do it. I can’t say we’ve even come close to figuring it out today, but we reignited the confidence in ourselves and the knowledge that doing something is better than doing nothing at all!
So what does this mean? Well, follow along with our newsletter and social media accounts to keep up to date and view the content we share, which will be on a scheduled and frequent basis from here on out! We plan to get more in depth with the topics we covered in our book, and provide new and exciting ways to learn and grow as aspiring allies!
Oh, and maaaybe our next book is in the works? Any guesses on what it might be about!? Comment below!
We can’t wait to learn and grow with you! Sincerely, Kayla & Ashley
PS: for a little sneak into the behind the scenes action of how we work: the blogs will be written by Kayla, while the newsletter will be handled by Ashley! The social media content & books will be a collaborative effort by us both, and hopefully plenty of special guests! You’ll also start to see our faces on IG stories and maybe even TikTok!? Basically, what I’m saying is, you’ll want to follow us everywhere to get our unique takes and to get to know us more personally!
