Episode 13 - Timid Worker Bees

In this second part of the white ally round table with Pam, Pat, and Roger, they talk about the value of being a part of Coat of Colours. For these three, belonging was initially an exercise of “being in the background” and “being more of a listener than a contributor” and “being a worker bee and not a leader imposing their own agenda”. 

They also express that they had some fear of saying or doing the wrong thing that might not be very endearing. And in some ways, they saw their self-imposed disempowerment as a means of creating an understanding of their siblings.
