Black & Blonde

To my friends and professional peers working in education, as we aim to inform and empower our students, let’s do our due diligence and ensure that the information we share is accurate, and tells the whole story.

I will leave this article here about Claudette Colvin, who was the FIRST to refuse to give up her seat during the Civil Rights era.

Because colorism, light skin favor and White adjacence has always been “a thing”, Rosa Parks was placed in history as the first… share this truth with your students this month.

Claudette Colvin was the first black woman to refuse to give up her seat on a bus. Yet she never received widespread recognition for it.

I am beyond grateful for all of the opportunities that I have to facilitate, encourage and hopefully inspire folks in areas of wellness, self care, activism, education and anti-racism.

Any time that these subjects can intersect within an opportunity is even better.

If you are a member of the Massachusetts Teacher’s Association, or an educator seeking encouragement around developing self care strategies for yourself, please join me, in collaboration with the organization’s Anti-Racism Task Force, virtually on January 24 for the launch of this webinar series! I’ll be presenting on this particular date, but each month there will be a different webinar.

Take a look & register if you see something of interest.
