Supporting an individual or cause for which I have become an ally and supporter can only begin to make microscopic changes to the oppressive nature of our culture. I want to be the one who takes a step back to see the surrounding systems of oppression forming a cage, not simply a single thread as suggested by Frye (Raymond, 2004, p. 176). I pledge to use my courage and voice to leave behind my short-sighted and short-sighted attitude and always ask the question, “Have you considered whose rights will be violated by [this] decision?” After personal reflection on the answers to this question, I am confident that my new reactions will promote cultural competence, encouraging a set of behaviors that allow those in society to work together using these small, invisible steps as building blocks for a macroscopic desperately desired goal.
