White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack is an exceptional article written by Peggy McIntosh. With her primary work surrounding Women and Gender Studies, McIntosh decided to explore other systemic hierarchies in the world today. Her article does a very good job of explaining how white people are often conditioned to be “neutral” when it comes to racial disputes. I highly recommend giving it a read if you are interested in learning more about white privilege and how it effects daily life.

This photo was taken by an unknown protester on July 1, 2021 in Winnipeg Manitoba. My sister and I joined hundreds of people to march for all the Indigenous children who never came home from Indian Residential Schools. Once we arrived at our final destination a few hours later, we heard stories from elders and listened to past experiences from Residential School Survivors. To say the least, it was a very powerful day and I am grateful I got the opportunity to be a part of it. #NoPrideInGenocide

They are a great person to follow along with if you are passionate about government, mental health, and LGBTQ+ rights. #NDP
