In this article, Paula Mathieu shares a few lessons about what she now sees as the contemplative call of community writing, which is at once personal, political, historical, and pedagogical. If people are going to do community-based work ethically and, mindful of past and present racial and other political wounds, they need to do their work unflinchingly and humbly. And if the "they" includes people who are seen as white, Mathieu deeply believes, this work needs to be done in intentionally antiracist ways, mindful of the white supremacist systems in which people work, from which white people have benefited and continue to benefit, and to ask, even if there is no clear answer: What does antiracist work look like here and now?
