Rp @austinchanning I was brave today. It took a lot and made me pretty tender, but in the face of whiteness, money + power - I chose myself.
-
Had to remind myself who I am today and stand up for the things that make me different. I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. And that’s okay.
-
I’m glad there are so many racial justice educators out there, and that we have different approaches. But I also have to remember that my storytelling, my humor, my improvisation, my experiences and my ability to connect with an audience are special- even if the way I present is non traditional for some.
-
I’m me, and I’ll choose myself every time. I know what it costs to choose whiteness instead, and that is too high a price to pay. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
