“My commitment to a more equitable and just city is to call out casual racism in my everyday life. I am usually reluctant to respond to microaggressions, particularly when they come from people I don’t know. I’m learning that we can’t afford to let this harmful “othering” to exist in our community. I refuse to let people speak hatefully about “those peopleâ€. “
