Excited to kick off Cohort 1 of my Antiracist Leaders course, session 1 is tonight. We all need a network that nurtures and pushes us to grow. #dismantleWSC
We got a dope group here tonight. Digging into how we hold space for adult learning and create antiracist space!
We are talking about protocols, equity, and social justice!

White supremacy is not just about hierarchy. It’s about HUMANITY and whether white folks see BIPOC as fully human. FULLY. We are unquestionably human but how we are treated and viewed is result of white supremacy and purpose of white supremacy. (thread)
This is why we (BIPOC) always are asserting, defending, and affirming our HUMANITY. white supremacy aims to remove our humanity, rights, liberties. Dignity.
Institutions treat us like animals. Jails. Schools. Child separation. Slavery. Agriculture. Police. Court system. It’s deeper than treated us like lesser humans. It is more akin to the treatment of animals.
Breonna Taylor is still not getting justice and y’all still being neutral? Are you ready to take a stand now? Or are we waiting for another murder, march, & innocent verdict? culturallyresponsiveleadership.com/neutrality/ Here’s 16 issues to fight for in our schools! #DismantleWSC
1) Race, racism, and anti-racism in the classroom. Discuss it.
2) Grading students during or after a pandemic. Abandon it.
Antiracist parents, please be prepared to fight for your brave educators who are fighting for your children. They are teaching critical thinking, love, & democracy. White rage will try to remove them, by hook or crook. Educators will need parents to support them. Be prepared.
Let me be clear, I’m talking about our administrations current attack on ethnic studies, critical thinking, critical race theory, and anti-racism. Parents, you have to choose a side. Choose a side that supports the marginalized and voiceless. Use your privilege.
Watch the news, and see how specific educators and leaders are removed, put on leave, investigated, and accused of all sort of fraudulent charges. This is all a distraction and an attempt to discourage change.
