I also experienced a lot of emotions during these reads. “Discomfort” was one that specifically stuck out for me. I agree that feeling discomfort helps to fosters self-reflection and personal change.

I think it is important to : be aware of my own privilege and biases and to continue to educate myself by listening to people’s experiences and stories, provide an inclusive, non judgmental space for people to share these stories, advocate for young people and encourage student-lead initiatives and take action to help amplify these voices.
