This was originally a tweet that over-expanded.

Today I had a powerful sense of my accidental privilege. I was born into the wealthiest 1% (middle class, North America), speak English, (globally the standard language), received a free decent public school education in French, I could go on, but won’t. I am responsible for none of these blessings. I did nothing to gain them, besides surviving birth. I need to seriously consider how I respond to them. I cannot squander them on myself alone.
