At yesterday’s Beyond the Supremacy Myth event, one of the cohort members made a comment during his pitch that I’ve heard more times than I can count: “Kim’s not as intimidating in person as she appears online.” I’ve been thinking about that because it’s never just about me. When white men describe me as “intimidating,” “aggressive,” or “too much,” what they’re actually bumping up against is this:

I just held my first live Beyond the Supremacy Myth event and all I can say is…WOW. For years, I’ve been championing a world that is supremacy-, coercion-, discrimination-, and exploitation-FREE. I’ve been naming the harm, challenging the conditioning, and pushing white men in particular to confront the Myth of White Supremacy and choose something better for themselves and the communities they claim to care about. And today? Today felt like home.

When Time published the headline: “Pantone Chooses White as its Color of the Year for the First Time Ever. See It Here,” a white woman immediately sent it to me with the caption: “Of course it is.” That reaction wasn’t sarcasm. It was recognition. Recognition that in this global political climate, even something as seemingly benign as a color announcement can’t be separated from the systems, institutions, and policies shaped by the myth of white supremacy.

It has been my habit since exiting Twitter to no longer share anything personal publicly but this conversation that folx are having regarding children who go “no contact” has been triggering. I haven’t spoken to my mom since August 1, 2023 because maintaining that relationship was a burden that I could no longer bear and I grieve that loss everyday. I miss the relationship I wish we could’ve had.

4 days until Life Beyond the Supremacy Myth. You’ve been preparing for this longer than you know. It’s time to learn, heal, and engage...together. Register for this free event today:

Life Beyond The Supremacy Myth - Winter 2025

Over the 14 weeks of Facilitated Conversations with Kim Crayton – Mediocre, I watched white men begin to tell the truth about their lived experiences in ways they had never been asked, or allowed, to do before. One of those participants offered this reflection on what this work made possible. It’s one of the clearest articulations of what community-based interrogation looks like when white men finally move beyond defensiveness and into honesty, courage, and accountability.

I was watching a YouTube video of an ex-Mormon reviewing South Park’s Scientology episode, and she said something that immediately brought me back to what I witnessed during Facilitated Conversations with Kim Crayton – Mediocre and what I’ve been thinking about as I prepare for Saturday’s Life Beyond The Supremacy Myth event. She was breaking down how high-control groups make surrendering your agency feel “easy.” They remove the burden of decision-making.

White men...you can live differently. You can be whole. You can be free. You can build lives and systems that don’t rely on supremacy, coercion, discrimination, or exploitation. The choice is yours. Dec 6. Be there.
