Going to be doing a lot of reading of this thread.
I can guarantee I have made some faux pas in the past due to where I was born and where/how I grew up (got older really).
Also aware when privilege has played a part in my life - 99% sure I wouldn't be where I am now without the head start.
I used to joke it was my accent (although it has mellowed after 15 years in London) that got me out of a lot of trouble with the police but thinking it was more than that.
Keen to get better. Not sure what else I can contribute, feel wholly unqualified and under educated.
