A reflection on Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week 2026
It’s Sorry Day and Reconciliation week and I’m reminded again that language matters. White people tell me this constantly.Use the right language.Tone it down.Be careful how you say it.Be professional.Be strategic.Be calm.Be nice. Because language matters.
