*My relationship to cultural appropriation is constantly evolving. To me, the path is not always clear, so I try to keep moving in it; to keep looking at how I may be participating and changing my ways in response. These are very clear, honest and critical looks at the concept, practice and definition of cultural appropriation. Please always feel free to discuss this with me--I'd be happy to share my experience and hear yours in the spirit of evolution.
