Cultural humility / power
Cultural humility and power awareness
What it is
Prompts for cultural humility and power awareness in facilitation—not savior mediation and not legal advice.
When Mediate uses it
When fairness, identity, or asymmetric power is part of the fight and naming it carefully helps.
Key tools
Power naming
Usually a private whisperName the asymmetry without taking sides as moral authority.
Try saying…
Private: “Money/power may be shaping who gets to decide. Can we name that explicitly?”
Fairness prompt
May appear in GroupGroup: invite a fairness check — who decides, who carries load.
Patterns it watches for
Power asymmetry
Cues like: “I earn more so”, “in my family we”, “you're overreacting because of your culture”
Notes
Cultural humility / power-awareness prompts for facilitation; not savior mediation; no legal advice.
