@IAmDeeHankins @Walnut_Mustangs Hi! I sent you a message on facebook to talk more!

[Cynthia @cynlu_]

‼️Walnut alums‼️working with admin/students to start a convo series for WHS students to talk & engage w social issues. Looking for diverse alums to share perspectives & speak about race, privilege, civic action, & self-care within current events. Pls DM if interested & share!

@patriciaamg16 @yusrasiddique98 4-in my other response, I wrote about how I’m just organizing and not leading the discussions. Reserving that space for diverse voices I recognize as more qualified to speak.

[Cynthia @cynlu_]

@patriciaamg16 @yusrasiddique98 3-through videos, awareness campaigns, bills to increase the dialogue around systemic racism & share POC stories. Remembering what I saw in HS, this a new avenue focused directly where we can have a big impact, the Walnut community.

@patriciaamg16 @yusrasiddique98 2-canvassed/protested against SOI discrimination used largely as a proxy for rejecting black tenants, & wrote and introduced a bill sealing eviction files, yet another proxy for racism. This is not a new fight for me. I’ve been working,

@patriciaamg16 @yusrasiddique98 1- Hi,we've never met I understand but don’t want anyone to think I’m”performing” for the BLM movement. After HS, I’ve spent 3 yrs uplifting POC voices against systemic racism in housing. I’ve filmed & shared the stories of black/POC tenants, helped them testify in my statehouse

[Cynthia @cynlu_]

@yusrasiddique98 I think we can both agree there is a problem & an imp solution is to create dialogue so ppl aren’t hurt in these ways again. Again, I am not trying to insert myself, but rather making space for other voices. That’s the point of this open call!

[Cynthia @cynlu_]

@yusrasiddique98 As a WOC at a mostly white college who faces this kind of covert racism everyday, I am sorry that my own past actions hurt you in the same way. I’ve explained this more in my DM, and while I can’t change HS, we have an opp now to not repeat these mistakes as a community

[Cynthia @cynlu_]

@yusrasiddique98 (2/2) intentions and I know that the use of the n word is a problem at walnut and have called out people I know who’ve said it. Also I do appreciate u bringing this up and want to hear ur feedback, if u have any advice on how to make this series more meaningful, let’s talk!

[Cynthia @cynlu_]

@yusrasiddique98 (1/2)Hey, I just DM’ed you to talk! I promise that we’re not trying to be performative and start meaningful conversations, b/c or else concerns like urs would never be addressed. I’m really sorry if I made a hurtful comment to you in HS & have never meant anything with mean

Y’all can understand a white kid shooting up a school cuz he was bullied after 4 months of school but don’t understand why an oppressed group is compelled to burn shit down after 400yrs
