So grateful for the conversation with @mobrowne @FredTJoseph@BrittneyMMorris @ibizoboi @KielyBrendan today. “Just open the floor and get out of the way. The youth can speak for themselves.” #NCTE21
“The project you’re putting off, the one that scares you to death, is the one you should be doing.” Learned a ton from @colsonwhitehead at #NCTE21 today as he made connections across history to talk about the atrocities committed “anywhere a culture of impunity reigns.”
“All of the banned books are a love letter to the country…they have hope.” So true, @kellyyanghk! I love your passion. “We have to activate that resilience.” #NCTE21
So many great takeaways from hearing @LindaSuePark today at #NCTE21 “Once you know someone’s story…that’s the path to understanding, empathy, and then eventually love.” Representation matters. It says: “I see you. You matter. And you are not alone.”
So inspired by the wise words of @tracisorell, encouraging us to ask this of our texts: “Who is getting the message that they are not welcome or not considered?” #NCTE21
Excited to present at #NCTE21 with a panel of great authors and @booklove4life grant winners! Check out our session on 11/19 at 1:15- “An Unwavering Commitment to Equity and Justice.” @pennykittle @olugbemisola@brendankiley @LindaSuePark @tracisorell @kellyyanghk@ncte
