"The teacher is of course an artist,
but being an artist does not mean
that he or she can make the profile,
can shape the students.
What the educator does in teaching
is to make it possible
for the students to become themselves."
-Paulo Freire

I am a fierce advocate of antiracism, ethnic studies, and liberatory practices and structures in education. This website is under construction on its way to becoming a blog and resource site for other educators interested in knowing more about how to bring these values into their own school. Hopefully this can be a home for or a part of a community for those who want to challenge status quo systems that continue to reproduce White Supremacist norms in our schools - and by extension our society.
