I am finally watching/listening to this week's @BlackGazePod conversation w/ Dr. @aprilbakerbell. From the intro, the idea of internalizing linguistic oppression. Whew! Thank you, @DrPorcher & @dr_s_bertrand for this!
Also, I see you @DrPorcher & @dr_s_bertrand. Knowing you, I could hear in your voices how hard it was to be present in this space with #BreonnaTaylor on your hearts & minds. Thank you for standing for #Blacklinguisticjustice in the midst of it all ❤️
"It's intentional to leave us out of language conversations" --@aprilbakerbell #Blacklinguisticjustice #BlackGazePodcast @BlackGazePod
"What is proper? And who decides what is proper and what is not?" @aprilbakerbell #Blacklinguisticjustice #BlackGazePodcast @BlackGazePod
"Anti-Blackness is like smog. We all breathe it in." -- @DrPorcher #Blacklinguisticjustice #BlackGazePodcast @BlackGazePod
I so deeply appreciate when Dr. @aprilbakerbell quotes June Jordan on Black English, "If we lose our fluency in our language, we may irreversibly forsake elements of the spirit that have produced for our survival" Whew. #Blacklinguisticjustice @BlackGazePod
"Black language is at the center of our survival. It is at the center of Black Lives Matter....Blackness guides us and directs us. It's what's going to connect us" #Blacklinguisticjustice @BlackGazePod
.@ProfeAustin -- I know you saw that first question to Dr. @aprilbakerbell about combatting anti-Blackness w/in bilingual education -- it's like they knew we were writing together about language education! #Blacklinguisticjustice @BlackGazePod
"You've got to talk about anti-Black linguistic racism...if you're not, you're not really having a conversation about language & English Language Arts" @aprilbakerbell #Blacklinguisticjustice @BlackGazePod
Whew! @aprilbakerbell asks, "What did you lose?" when you bought into codeswitching and white linguistic supremacy as leading to opportunity, success or survival... #Blacklinguisticjustice @BlackGazePod #BlackGazePodcast
"We shouldn't have to follow some sort of code for people not to be racist towards us, and they're still going to be racist towards us." -- @aprilbakerbell #Blacklinguisticjustice @BlackGazePod #Blackgazepodcast
"We can't rely on institutions to educate us about our language." -- @aprilbakerbell -- This is why she & Carmen Kynard created the #Blacklanguagesyllabus: blacklanguagesyllabus.com #Blacklinguisticjustice #Blackgazepodcast @BlackGazePod
"We need to create a world where Black girls & womxn can just be" -- @aprilbakerbell #Blacklinguisticjustice #Blackgazepodcast @BlackGazePod
"Dismantling anti-Black racism is not a one and done, it's a PROCESS and choice because it's been internalized." -- @DrPorcher & Dr. @aprilbakerbell then discuss the commodification of Black language #Blacklinguisticjustice #Blackgazepodcast @BlackGazePod
"If you about that life, you going to find it." -- @DrPorcher #Truth Consider Black womxn's emotional labor. #googleisyourfriend Start w/ the resources that are out there like @BlackGazePod & #Blacklinguisticjustice!
What a gift. What a gift. Y'all are SUCH a gift. Thank you @dr_s_bertrand @DrPorcher & Dr. @aprilbakerbell. Thank you for who each of you is, for who you allow others to be. Thank you @BlackGazePod!
OMG, though, "Don't try us. Try Jesus. We'll sue you." 😂🤣 @dr_s_bertrand I love y'all so much. Y'all giving so much to us for free -- joy, wisdom, brilliance. ❤️ Love you SO much @BlackGazePod

Update: I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a message from my sister. As expected, it’s been absolutely brutal. They shot into her house. And are in her street. The military is shooting randomly at any sign of life, trying to scare people into the streets 1/
In the streets, they will be arrested, shot or killed. My sister said someone in her neighborhood was killed and two of her friends were arrested. She is still safe but they are lying on the floor to avoid being seen because the military is still outside in the street. 😢 2/
As of a couple of hours ago over 150 have died just today. I’m sure it’s more now. Please continue to pray for her and her mom, the people and the country as they undergo this terrible violence and humanitarian crisis. 3/

Let me tell you, I am declaring being done w/ the shame spiral & apologizing for my #AsianAmerican identity. There's a lot of work to do as a community, but we can't do that work, if we can't acknowledge that shame is part of white supremacy that keeps us in our place (thread) 1/
First, I want to shout out Black feminist & linguistic scholars, including the fantastic @BlackGazePod convo w/ Dr. @aprilbakerbell. @DrPorcher & @dr_s_bertrand, your unapologetic stance that Blackness will save Black people reminds me to stand in my own truth 2/
Okay, and also shout out to the fantastic essay by @poetpedagogue that reminds me that we cannot abolish systems that promise us opportunity if we play by the rules until we conquer our own internalized oppressive mindset 3/

Ironically, my TEDx talk on humanizing pedagogies comes out on a day when I had a real human moment. Sometimes we let our frustrations get the best of us & make assumptions about people that we need to keep to ourselves, but let slip out. 1/
In those most human of moments, when we are not at our best, we need to take responsibility for our words and actions, then show grace to ourselves. Grace doesn't make the words go away or excuse the impact, but continuing to stew doesn't help either. 2/
I know that I am very human, even as I conquer my inner desire for perfection. My wise dean @DrK_WhiteSmith reminded me today that we all stumble & sometimes, it takes a minute to recover, but we will not fall, because we have community to lift us up. 3/

Y'all do not understand how much I missed @BlackGazePod! 1/3 of the way through Episode 1 of Season 2 -- Protect Black Womxn. @dr_s_bertrand & @DrPorcher bringing it again! Also, shout out to @MauricePorcher for the sound effects. The claps though 👏👏👏 1/
Also, got me wondering, has @DrPorcher given me a nickname? Do I need to rethink our relationship? 🤔 @BlackGazePod #BlackGazePodcast 2/
This episode is just so powerful. Centering Black womxn means accepting & affirming ALL that they are: the brilliance, power & drive, but also the softness & humanity #ProtectBlackwomxn #BlackGazePodcast @BlackGazePod 3/

I didn't want to distract from Scholar Strike the last two days, so I didn't post the #blogpost I wrote yesterday, but it actually works out because I blogged today too & they are pretty nice companion pieces. Sharing them here with you 1/
"I believe in myself. I believe in the healing power of reflection and writing. I am learning, whose voices to listen to, when to listen and how to listen. I am learning how to make space for pain I don’t think I deserve. I am learning & growing & it is beautiful but painful." 2/

Okay, so I had thought I’d live tweet read @mdawriter’s Becoming a Teacher but the writing is so good, I am just letting myself be carried away by the story of Ms. Hall through which so much about the teaching journey can be learned 1/
That being said, I am tweeting this quote from p. 75, “Preparation and self-education underlie all good teaching. It is a cycle of forward thinking that never really stops.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Amen. 2/
Also, so many thanks to @laquisha_hall for opening her practice to @mdawriter so that we could all learn and have this gift of a book to support others who are becoming teachers 3/
