@MrsDoan15 @SirIsaacBrockPS I appreciate the work that you have done on this and would encourage you to consider intentionally highlighting Black excellence well beyond the areas of athletics and entertainment. Also, please consider using read-alouds exclusively from Black authors.

My favorite line from the poem by @TheAmandaGorman today: “We lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us.” She is amazing. #inauguration2021

For those who might still be unclear about how anti-Black racism operates in schools to suffocate Black children, I'm sharing just a few examples. ⁦@Alisongsv⁩ ⁦⁦@CRussellRawlins ⁦@VickyBranco⁩ ⁦⁦@brandonzoras⁩ ⁦@ErikaShaker ⁦⁦@stevenhurley⁩

As we demonstrate, donate, read, and call for antiracist policy change, let’s ensure we’re not engaged in what I call “feelings advocacy” in #HowToBeAnAntiracist. Let’s ensure we’re focused on making society better, not our feelings better, as I implored in a recent @Ted convo.

Calling all educational leaders to make this their goal! Becoming an anti-racist means moving from your fear zone, acknowledging your own thinking, learn more, and become better!
