'It is our responsibility to speak boldly where our ancestors had to whisper.' Jamila Lyiscott, PhD
Dear Teacher,
Before you teach us to splinter our souls
For a seat at the table
Teach us to splinter our hands
As carpenters of our own justice
How dare you engorge us
With this feast of feeble freedoms
While our appetites remain
An unquenched Black whole

Nasreen Al Omari Jamila Lyiscott, PhD We are the table! I love this! As educators, it can be such a powerful message if we lead with that attitude - you are modeling the ability to be unapologetically yourself to your students! How often do they receive that encouragement? #EDLR5402
