An Examen for White Allies
As white allies for racial justice, the Ignatian Examen can guide us to be aware not only of the world around us, but how we move, act, and love within it—to reflect and be aware of the systemic racial oppression our society is built upon, and on how we not only benefit from it, but on how we can use our power and privilege to dismantle it and support people of color.
