Privilege Walk
• Begin silently, without speaking, hand in hand in a single line.
• Listen carefully.
• Take the step if it applies to you.
• Don’t take a step if it makes you uncomfortable.
• We will return to this room to debrief.
Debrief questions
• Share one word that captures how you are feeling right now.
• How did it feel to be in the front of the line?
• How did it feel to be in the back of the line?
• Were some statements more impactful than others?
• Any new realizations?
