As long as I get feedback from BIPOC participants that they aren’t being centered enough or pushed enough, I will keep growing my practice and facilitative skills to do so. This decenters, destabilizes, dethrones white folks. #DismantleWSC

Real talk, ad a participant of many PDs and workshops, I been there, thinking, this is for white folks, and what about me? I can’t do the same shit now.

Ways I’m trying to center BIPOC, voices and text from BIPOC, asking everyone including whites to learn from is.

BIPOC Affinity space and even more so specific racial caucuses.

Minimizing and at times silencing white voices

Not letting white tears, fragility, or white rage derail the learning space.

Sending whites into racial affinity to work it out.

Saying “we’ve heard enough white folks speak” “don’t start with white men speaking”

Using CRT instead of WSC to plan curriculum and adult learning pedagogy

Shit, by speaking my voice, I ain’t white and I can share my perspective

If I get it right, whites feel left out, out the loop, or or left behind, but who’s in? BIPOC.

But will white folk stay engaged if it’s not about y’all? Will you stay? Should we care? Nah.
