@realJ_Mitchell Congratulations to the graduating class and their teacher!!! You have done amazing things at Aldershot. You will be incredible in your new role!!!

👇🏽 resonates on so many levels - the struggle is real - as a racialized educator when do you speak up, where is it appropriate & what will the fall out be??? Are you labeled a troublemaker or changemaker? -waiting for everyone else’s readiness feels unsafe & stifling

It may sound fluffy or cliche but if we are truly working toward equity, we must visualize and believe in a future of possibility. This work isn’t about fixing deficits. Its about honoring, rectifying, and ultimately, cultivating the unique gifts and talents that we all possess.

@realJ_Mitchell I'm always so inspired by you and your students. Yesterday, @LLB_315 - keynote speaker on the @FNMIEAO conference spoke to the verb based nature of Indigenous languages, and spoke to 'verbing math' - making it action based. I thought of your work!
