A7: You are entering a very politicized profession right now, but you are prepared for the fight! Build authentic, diverse voices into your curricula all year, and do it with intention. If this is your norm, you are less likely to get pushback during BHM. You’ve got this! #T2Tchat

We have a Dream Journal! They reflect on the shared sentiment towards the American Dream felt by Americans at the end of each decade, and then there is a section where they reflect on how diverse perspectives align or deviate from that sentiment!

Admittedly, this is an area of growth. While my intention is collaboration when communicating home, the impact isn’t actually yielding meaningful collaboration. I think it’s super important to poll families on HOW they’d like to stay involved! #T2Tchat

Yes! I’ve been leaning into the significance behind Black entertainers. We often don’t picture them when thinking about “pop culture,” but every viral phrase was coined by a Black person. Whether it’s the Grammys, the Super Bowl, or TikTok dances, we are a living history! #T2Tchat

I turn to my colleagues in the history department. They’ve done such a wonderful job of incorporating Black experiences throughout their curriculum. Honestly, they helped me realize I could do the same. #T2Tchat
