Hello! Today we are taking a look at the concept of  privilege .  Privilege  exists when one group has something of value that is denied to others simply because of group membership and not based on what a person or group has done or failed to do. It is important to recognize that privilege is part of a reality that helps some while impeding others. The challenge activities for today will help us take a closer look at this concept. If you're just joining us, you can access the previous days' content here .

Review this graphic which gives a basic overview of privilege, its forms, and how we can prevent privilege blindness through conscious and active practice.

Watch this TEDx Talk by Tiffany Jana, founder of TMI Consulting, on the power of privilege, including how it can have a lifelong impact on an individual's success.

Read the article "The Origins of 'Privilege'" from The New Yorker, featuring an interview with Peggy McIntosh, and read more about her work from the National Seed Project.
