I desperately need your help. This is my cousin Imani Serafina Roberson and as of today, she has been missing for two weeks. Imani is a twenty-nine year old mother of four, and on Sunday July 16th, she had dinner at her mother’s home and has not been seen since.
Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
.@jim_desmond Now is our opportunity to bring the SD Child Care Blueprint to life! Please consider:
- Funding a Blueprint evaluation;
- Performance measures & funded programs for child/youth mental health;
- Explore avenues for local, dedicated funding for child care.
BIPOC Educators of color, we spend lots of time telling Brown students “you need to play the game, work twice as hard, not make waves.”
Today find a BIPOC student & tell them “I you see them. You are enough. You matter. The game’s rigged. You can flip the game board too.” ✊🏾
Anyone telling you that you are lazy for wanting to heal, rest and connect with a life outside of the violence of grind culture, is a brainwashed fool. Show them grace but DO NOT listen to them.
Culturally responsive teaching & antiracism AINT this y’all. Nope. I promise there’s more. Our BIPOC & white children deserve much more than this. This ain’t it. Damn. And so many use this as a model.
There is no ‘teacher shortage’. There are thousands of qualified experiences teachers who are no longer teaching. There’s a shortage of respect and proper compensation for teachers allowing them to actually teach.
