If you have privilege, stop using it to prop up your ego by pretending it doesn't exist. Use it to help others, speak out on what they can't, share what you have/know. Be useful to people outside of yourself for once.

"the relative unfamiliarity of stories reflecting African pantheons is not due to the paucity of such stories, but, rather, to their accessibility." !! "Spirit Life" was rejected by all the Western journals I submitted it to. They didn't understand how that is even nonfiction.
