This is one of my favorite interviews, and a conversation that is crucial
for understanding and revealing the hidden influences that shape many of
our views on society, wealth and power. I have heard terms like white
privilege (which applies to me), but I hadn't thought to look into the
notion of invisible privilege until earlier this year. You may think it
doesn't apply to you (as I used to), especially if you're not in the "Top
1%."

But as a recent Atlantic article revealed, The 9.9 Percent is the New
American Aristocracy, privilege is something that affects more of us
than we might immediately self-identify with, particularly for many who see
themselves as part of the "middle class." (A necessary note: some of you
may be in the Top 1%—and you're welcome here!—and some of you may be
struggling to get by, and  you're welcome here too).

After hearing it thrown around quite a bit in social change circles, I got
curious. What does invisible privilege really mean? How does it affect me,
and others like me? And how does it relate to broader social change? I'm so
grateful for Karen Pittleman, who answers these questions with kindness,
compassion, and clarity in this week's conversation. I can't wait for you
to hear her story of giving away a $3 million trust fund when she turned 24
years old (now she's given over $13 million to activist-led funds), and her
input on how we can all work together to redistribute wealth and power as
we work toward a more just society.
