rp @blairimani: If you’re unwilling to listen to Black women— are you even pretending to care?

 

And, it should go without saying but let me be crystal clear: When I say Black women I mean all the varieties of Black womanhood. I mean Black trans women, Black lesbian women, Black bisexual women, Black queer women, Black Jewish women, Black Muslim women, Black disabled women, fat Black women, poor Black women—ALL OF US. ALL BLACK WOMEN!

 

Look. On this journey you will likely mess up. It happens. It’s human. BUT! It is what you do after you mess up that really counts.

 

Are you going to let your own discomfort get in the way of growth? Are you going to get defensive or be receptive to learning more and doing better?

 

Learning is a privilege, so support and respect the Black women who have taken it upon themselves to teach. Who is your favorite Black woman educator? What are you doing to support them?

Note: Make sure you aren’t misgendering anyone that doesn’t identify as a Black woman. #blm #antiracism #blackwomen - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
