I am committed to learning and growing in areas regarding race and my own privileges as a white person who grew up in North America. While I see myself as someone who celebrates cultures that are different from my own, I recognize that my understanding of the world I live in is deeply influenced by an anglo-centric perspective. I know I’ve made mistakes and will continue to make mistakes due habit, ignorance, uncertainty, cultural bias and my need for ego gratification. Nevertheless, I am committed to  deepening my understanding and embracing my responsibilities regarding race and culture.
