I May Be Anti-Racist But I'm Still an Ableist
Many years ago, I began the hard work of confronting my own racism and sexism. That means fighting my natural responses of defensiveness, inaction, and shame what I call the D-I-S Spiral that come with a fixed mindset. I'd almost forgotten how difficult it is to begin the work of shifting to a growth mindset. Then, this summer, I re-discovered that fixed mindset. Why? I discovered I'm an ableist.
