rp @moemotivate: Have you ever spilled food on a shirt?
I do pretty much everyday.
But I never do it on purpose.
I never plan to do it either.
But it still happens & I still end up w/ stains that sometimes won’t come out.
And while racism isn’t something that can be washed away w/ a good detergent, but it’s helpful to use analogies to simplify complex or abstract concepts.

rp @changecadet: Anytime you hear a family member or friend say this or it's the message from your work leadership it is YOUR responsibility to remind them that it's a humanity issue. Be uncomfortable. Do the work. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
rp @iamrachelricketts: Let us lead with authenticity + integrity, or not at all. Antiracism is constant and consistent work. More than actions and words. What do you put into your antiracism journey? - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
rp @woketeachers: Remember, no one is born racist or antiracist; these result from the choices we make. Being antiracist results from a conscious decision to make frequent, consistent, equitable choices daily. These choices require ongoing self-awareness and self-reflection as we move through life.

rp @moemotivate: It doesn’t feel good and it’s quite uncomfortable, but the impact and the transformation that results from doing the work is worth the daily and on-going commitment.
Are you committed to this work? Are you ready? Will you implement this work into every part of your life? Will you spread the word and importance of anti-racism to those around you? Comment "yes" if you you're committed already!! - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

rp @wherechangestarted: How does it work that the antiracism thought leaders who share this violent advice demand PayPal and Patreon contributions for their “emotional labor,” but have no problem putting that same work on the backs of little children - expecting their little bodies to labor on behalf of white folks for free, while they get paid to put them in harms way?

#Repost @Rachel_Cargle I am making a public declaration, here and now in front of all of you beating hearts, that I, am giving myself permission
to not always get it right,
to not always be okay,
to not always be inspired,
to not always be full.
I give myself permission to honor the ebbs and flows of
soft and callous
ease and tension
light-filled and shadowed
my whole self and just enough
I am opening the gate to myself.
I am welcoming myself into this garden where the soil has been tilled by my ancestors.
this garden where I planted seeds day by day, season by season with grand expectation.
this garden where brave women and men watered diligently, knowing what would break through the ground once ready.
I am being birthed and blossomed again and again. Growing pains are inevitable.
I am giving myself permission to feel the sun on my skin, to let the rain soak my hair, to be weathered by the storms that are inevitable.
But it’s my garden, it’s where I’m supposed to be. I’m giving myself permission to BE here.

rp @wearepushblack: Thurgood Marshall! Most notably known for founding the NAACP’s Legal Defense and Educational Fund in 1940 - Marshall served as the NAACP’s Chief Counsel, winning a series of court decisions that gradually destroyed the legal underpinnings of Jim Crow segregation.
And in 1967, Marshall was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, declaring that it was “the right thing to do, the right time to do it, the right man and the right place.” becoming the Supreme Court’s 96th justice and first Black justice. Any Black judges or lawyers? Attorneys?

rp @drcourtneyrose: Reminder that although bookshelves & reading lists are great places to start, students need to see themselves reflected in ALL aspects of the learning experience.

May we talk about what it means to lead for a moment?
-
rp @brenebrown: Daring leaders fight for the inclusion of all people, opinions, and perspectives because that makes us all better and stronger.
-
That means having the courage to acknowledge our own privileges, and staying open to learning about our biases and blind spots. It is also listening, centering, and honoring stories that reflect experiences that are different than our own.

Comment below ...What language/statements are you using in your life to make sure that Black and Brown voices are heard and amplified?

rp @laylafsaad: White supremacy does not want equality; it wants dominance. Period. And whiteness will enforce that dominance by any means necessary, whether it’s colonising a country that doesn’t belong to it, or colonising a conversation that doesn’t center it. #antiracism #antiracisteveryday - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
rp @wherechangestarted: FYI.
White supremacy is white supremacy. Period.
Black, Indigenous, and People don’t need your crumbs or the leftovers of your time, energy, and effort. We need you to do your part in dismantling the system of white supremacy.
That means doing the work of unpacking the many ways your own behaviors uphold and perpetuate it. That means doing the work of leading by example to encourage others to do their own work.
It’s a pretty direct ask. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

Tired. White people, you should be tired too.
-
As @catriceology mentioned white people, you should be exhausted from protesting, speaking up, supporting several Black people at one time.
-
You should be tired and be losing sleep because it sickens you about what is happening to Black people. You should be losing sleep because you're on the front lines, juggling your life and keeping your boots on the ground.
-
You should be losing friends left and right for doing the right thing by calling out racist behavior. You should be losing and or passing up opportunities because instead you are opening up space for black women.
-
You should be anxious and worried about Black lives. You should be angry and enraged about the injustices Black people face. You should be worried about your finances because you're paying so many reparations.
-
You should feel uncertain about your livelihood because you are giving up privilege, advantages and entitlements. You should be doing and feeling ALL OF THIS. Why? Because this is the life of an ACCOMPLICE. And if you are NOT consistently feeling this way or acting this way - your activism, "allyship" and actions are NOT that of an Accomplice and YOU ARE NOT DOING "THE WORK" RIGHT.

rp @drcourtneyrose: Minority is even a bit more damaging than urban because it doesn’t mask deficit-based thinking, but rather puts it on display. It’s even worse when it’s used in environments & situations when the particular racial & ethnic groups being discussed are absolutely NOT the demographic minority. Again folks, if we are going to get to the root of the damaging beliefs that manifest in laws, policies & practices we MUST leave the euphemisms & code words behind and say what we mean. We can’t address it if we don’t face it. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

rp @nowhitesaviors: How many contemporary movements and spaces would alienate or exclude Harriet Tubman? How many TODAY feel like they can’t engage on platforms like ours because they don’t have the *right* language? Having the right university degrees, institutional accolades or gaining a certain number of followers can’t be the measure of our fitness to lead the revolution. How fearlessly committed are we when it comes to staring violent systems of oppression in the face? How are we improving the lives of the most marginalized?
