As a white woman, looking inward to my own white privilege is difficult. The conversations here are uncomfortable, and absolutely imperative if I am to "be the change I want to see in the world", as Mahatma Gandhi said so poignantly.

At times in this interview I felt awkward.  I searched for the right words.  But that's how it's supposed to be. By leaning in to the discomfort, I'm learning about my own biases and assumptions.  One thing I'm understanding now is, I don't even know what I don't know.  And thankfully, Myisha is here to guide me in this process of unpacking, creating awareness and living into the work of anti-racism.  

Myisha T Hill is a mental health activist, speaker, and entrepreneur passionate about the mental wellness and the empowerment for women.

In 2018, Myisha became curious about white women and privilege after ending a relationship with a co-worker that negatively impacted her mental health. This led her to identify her own internalized oppression and racism. Not interested in throw-away culture, she decided to seek out safe ways that white folks are showing up for Black, Brown and Indigenous Women of Color.

During Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, Myisha began her Check Your Privilege interview series inquiring into the work some white women are doing to show up safely for BIPoC and move beyond passive ally-ship to action driven co-conspirators.

Myisha works with organizations and community groups taking white people on a self-reflective journey exploring their relationship with power, privilege, and racism.
