"We all have unearned advantages and disadvantages – because of our race, our gender, our sexual orientation, our class, and many other attributes – and those advantages and disadvantages mean that we see and experience the world differently. While we may not ask for these advantages, they can mean that we don’t always experience or even recognize the struggles that our friends might encounter every single day.
The first step in using your privilege to help others is to recognize how people without your privileges might be experiencing the world. For more ways to use your privilege for good, click here."
