Feelings Wheel - a tool to help you track your “internal weather” and reactions throughout the Challenge. Feelings can tell us important things about ourselves like what pulls us forward into conversations and work for racial equity as well as what pushes us away. Developing the ability to name feelings can be the work of liberation and one way of stepping out of white dominant professional/cultural norms that minimize emotions in favor of “cool rationality” and intellectualism.
