I’m a 41-year-old white woman married to a 42-year-old white man. We have two children and we benefit from a lot of totally unearned privilege in this world thanks to the color of our skin and the size of our bank account. Our six-year-old son, “Sweetie Bird,” and our baby daughter are automatically set on a course to follow in our footsteps just for being born into our family. It’s our responsibility to make absolutely sure that they understand their privileges and that they share the world with others who have not been dealt such a lucky hand.
