I just want everyone to know that I will continuously try and learn to grow as a person.
I’ve had recently used the r slur at the beginning of 2020, which I am not proud of as today. I am not sure if I have ever used it in my published writing, but I have used it when talking with friends. Now that I am going into 2021, and continuing to want to grow my platform, I feel the need to step up as a creator to admit my past mistakes.
I have never used the slur against anyone, but I still knew the origins of the word and continued to use it, which is not okay.
I will never be using that word professionally or in general conversation.
I am truly sorry for anyone who has been affected by this word, it is not mine to reclaim.
