The We and the They and Our World Today
When we think about our collective identities, we like to position ourselves as the We and those who disagree with us as the They. We are more comfortable being the protagonists in our shared narratives. But what if we are more like Tabitha or even the rest of the They than we are willing to confess to ourselves?
“Where do you see yourself in The We and the They?”
On September 26, 2020, I hosted my first author talkback and had the opportunity to engage in a fantastic discussion with some of the most amazing people I know. It’s hard to believe that the book event happened four weeks ago, but I was so spellbound by the experience, I needed that time to do my due diligence in processing it all. When I first started drafting an event reflection, I quickly realized that I had a lot more to say than the quick little blurb I initially planned. But then again, brevity has never been the way that I show my wit.
