Selena Gomez continued her powerful takeover series with Sarah Elizabeth Lewis. Lewis is a professor at Harvard University where she teaches art history and African and African American studies focusing on the relationship between images, race, and justice.
Lewis is the definition of a hard-working and dedicated advocate. She is the main person behind the Vision & Justice Project, the first issue of Aperture Foundation Magazine, and is the author of the book, "The Rise."
She's also just an all-around incredible person, as you can tell from ALL of her achievements!
Lewis challenged us to think outside of the box and understand that just law alone hasn't gotten us to this point in history. She pushed back that law combined with our social narratives and norms help shape the culture around us and how we view things in out everyday life.
And, guess what?
She's right.
Lewis broke this down further on Instagram into four categories and questions, that you can see below:
Start challenging yourself to ask what you can do to change this narrative. What behaviors can you call out in yourself or others that contribute to what we are experiencing?
Are you a part of the problem without even realizing it?
Take the time to really think about this question because it's important and imperative to answer this question about where your bias maybe without even realizing it.
