I still identity as a "newbie".

I'm still learning.

I don't have all the terminology.

In 2014 I realised I had been lied to.

And since then I've been "growing" as a humanitarian.

I often get told I should have realised earlier.

Which is true. I should have.

But I didn't.

I was so deeply invested in a self serving narrative that felt like the truth.

I've spent the last twelve years unravelling...

but I've also been growing.

I now understand words that I either ignored, brushed aside...or never actually came across in my Jewish supremacy bubble. After twelve years, I now speak the language...but I'm far from fluent. And I often have to check in with someone who has lived in this space longer than me.

It's a privilege to be brought up in a family that lives & breathes equality, justice and gives you eyes to see power imbalances.

Most of us didn't. 

It's something we've had to choose.

I hope that those of us who are already in the process can be more tender with those who are just starting to show signs of "life" 🌳
