When friendships must navigate power dynamics in shared justice work

My best friend and I have been activists together for years, but lately I've been wondering if I've been taking up too much space in our organizing work because I'm white and more comfortable speaking up, and I don't know how to address this without making it about my guilt.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
