Real Talk: Interconnected- Structural Racism and the Role We All Play
Episode description
In this episode, Jen and Techa discuss ways that educators and individuals can show up during this dual pandemic--the Covid19 pandemic and the pandemic of systematic racism and racial injustice. They reflect on recent world events and how we as individuals are seeing now more than ever how truly interconnected we are. The episode ends with a guided practice to remind us of our human connection and also serves as a call to action to make this work sustainable in our lives and in our classrooms. The work starts with US. As you listen to this episode, ask yourself two questions:
1. How do I want to show up right now? and 2. What am I doing to make things better?
