Permission to feel is life’s work. Thanks @marcbrackett for today’s keynote at #camtss 2021 institute!

And another racist domestic terrorist takes another eight lives. I’m tired of being stereotyped. I’m tired of thinking it’s okay when people make jokes. I’m tired of the model minority myth. I’m tired of assimilating. I’m tired of being silent. #stopasianhate

Silence is Learned

A poem to be read from right to left.

Yesterday, my 14-year-old cousin said, “We’re living through a social studies chapter” and I can’t stop thinking about that, about him, about how young people are processing this moment.
