In this conversation I catch up with my former high school classmate, artist and social activist Danielle Ellis. We discuss her educational journey and the validity of higher education; how dealing with divorce and her own sexual identity brought her back to creating art; and how she is using her initiative, “Mermaids Bring Water”, to provide clean water to communities, as well as how her activism serves her art and community.ABOUT DANIELLE:Danielle Ellis is an Oak Cliff native always ready to share her love of the arts with everyone at a moment’s notice be it painting live or holding workshops through her creative incubator Brassfly Studio. Her art education came from her parents, summer workshops at the South Dallas Cultural Center, attending Booker T. Washington High School of the Performing and Visual Arts and later The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). She is also the creator of Mermaids Bring Water, an initiative that provides clean water to communities in need.Her words:“In my work I delve into our spiritual history as a form of survival, resistance and celebration. So often the narrative has been that African Americans are so far removed and void of culture. We have retained in many ways our roots and that includes spiritualities from our Ancestral home (Africa). We are of many African cultures forced together on new lands. We’ve held onto the scraps of what we were and patched a quilt into who we are. As a spiritual practitioner with a deep love for our people, I express that in all mediums, which includes creating public/private altars and community service. My life’s work is of uplift, veneration and celebration.”----------------GUEST LINKS:INSTAGRAM: @brassfly_studioINSTAGRAM: @mermaidsbringwaterETSY SHOP: Mermaids Bring WaterGoFundMe : Bring Water to SandbranchFACEBOOK: Brassfly Studio: An Eco Urban ExperienceFACEBOOK: Mermaids Bring Water--------------------Please Subscribe to That One (Blank) Friend on Apple Podcasts & Spotify and follow us on on Social MediaHOST: @saudiarashedSHOW: @thatoneblankfriendWEBSITE: SaudiaRashed.comFor guest inquiries email: thatoneblankfriend@gmail.com

From Teaching Tolerance: "White privilege is—perhaps most notably in this era of uncivil discourse—a concept that has fallen victim to its own connotations. The two-word term packs a double whammy that inspires pushback. 1) The word white creates discomfort among those who are not used to being defined or described by their race. And 2) the word privilege, especially for poor and rural white people, sounds like a word that doesn’t belong to them—like a word that suggests they have never struggled. This defensiveness derails the conversation, which means, unfortunately, that defining white privilege must often begin with defining what it’s not. Otherwise, only the choir listens; the people you actually want to reach check out. White privilege is not the suggestion that white people have never struggled. Many white people do not enjoy the privileges that come with relative affluence, such as food security. Many do not experience the privileges that come with access, such as nearby hospitals. And white privilege is not the assumption that everything a white person has accomplished is unearned; most white people who have reached a high level of success worked extremely hard to get there. Instead, white privilege should be viewed as a built-in advantage, separate from one’s level of income or effort." "Systemic Racism includes the policies and practices entrenched in established institutions, which result in the exclusion or promotion of designated groups. It differs from overt discrimination in that no individual intent is necessary. It manifests itself in two ways: institutional racism: racial discrimination that derives from individuals carrying out the dictates of others who are prejudiced or of a prejudiced society structural racism: inequalities rooted in the system-wide operation of a society that excludes substantial numbers of members of particular groups from significant participation in major social institutions."
