You don't necessarily have to do anything once you acknowledge your privilege. You don't have to apologize for it. You need to understand the extent of your privilege, the consequences of your privilege, and remain aware that people who are different from you move through and experience the world in ways you might never know anything about.

I write for myself, first and foremost and I also write for people, mostly women, who just want to be seen and heard and all too often aren't.
