Equity is not about all the books that you read and the articles that you consume. It is about what you do when you've read that book or that article and you say, “I'm ready for my mindset to shift.” You've actually got to get out there and do the work. You've gotta change the systems. You’ve got to address the structures.

• There is a myth that comes up in equity work: the idea that in order to do this work well, you either need to focus on the individual side or the structural side.
• The individual side causes us to ask ourselves, “What's the learning that I need to do? What are the behavior changes that I need to make? What are the mindset shifts that I need to make?”
• The structural side causes us to look at our systems, our practices, and what's going on in our organizations or workplaces, and take time to address it from a system side. 
• There are two parallel tracks of work that you've got to do at the same time.

There is a process to how we dig in and focus not just on one aspect but on both. We need to make sure that every day we’re committing to doing equity work and doing it with fidelity. We need to be committed to doing the work well and decreasing harm in the process. Remember that it's about changing ourselves, and it's about the structures that we change at the same time.
