Need Approval

rp @ckyourprivilege: ust do it. Don't expect BIPoC to cheer for you, it's not a Olympic 500 meter race.

This is you consciously choosing to:

 

1. Live into the work

2. Lean into discomfort

3. Get it wrong

4. Keep going.

 

Step into this work for conscious awareness. Not to win conversations, or be the "woke" co-worker. There is nothing to prove.

 

This is your journey, your work, and willingness to change to conscious relationships with BIPoC.

You will not earn a merit badge for being anti-racist. We are not in a competition, we are not running the race, we are not trying to win. We are all un-learning and re-learning, becoming masters of our own relationship with power privilege and racism. A competitive spirit is participation in patriarchy which teaches us to be the best, to be number one, to be the first. At the end of the day it's about ending our complicity and doing our best to take this journey and becoming anti-racist.

 

Challenging you to go deeper find the author of this quote. Read his work because this is really a pedagogy around teaching, and community. This work is very rewarding to more than just you but the world around you and if you practice #antiracismeveryday you're doing great things. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
