I want to bring up that it's a (white) privilege to be able to consider any part of the United States to move to...in thinking about where my family might move, I think about where my son will not feel out of place as a young person of color and where we won't be complimented on our fluency in English (our first language) like I have been when I've visited the mid-west. But I appreciate your post and thoughts! And I hope that there will be more Ask Amy posts in the future!? (Where do we send questions?)
Thank you. I thought about privilege in a number of places while writing this… it really undergirds all of it. You can send me questions by email! coamyp@gmail.com
Trying to figure out a move of my own, and as someone who also spirals with decisions, I really appreciate this.
