Throughout the past 13 months, I have been faced time and time again with the uncomfortable truth that I -- as a cis, white, upper-middle class American citizen -- have a LOT of privilege in this world. As someone who is training to study systems of oppression professionally, reflecting on this privilege is something that I do on daily basis. Recently, I had one episode in particular that really struck me as being a very fruitful opportunity for reflection.
