rp @andrearanaej: Do not let your outrage dissipate into complacency or lead you into burnout.

 

Let yourself have the anger and grief. And use it to guide you toward action in the direction of the world you wish to see.

 

Outrage, alone may not create the change you wish to see.

 

Opposition, alone may not create the change you wish to see.

 

Action fueled only by outrage or opposition, without a vision for what else could be possible, comes with the (high) risk of recreating the systems and ways of being that we have right now.

 

Feeling the outrage may be a necessary step, but it is only just a step toward creating something different in the world.

 

If you seek justice, clarify what justice means (to you, your communities and those you wish to support), what it looks like, what it requires and what part you play in that.

 

If you seek liberation, clarify what liberation means (to you, your communities and those you wish to support), what it looks like, what it requires and what part you play in that. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
