We dive deep into how we confront and cope with the toxic behaviors and microaggressions that often go unchecked in these spaces. How do we maintain our sense of self and continue to show up for our students, while also protecting our well-being in environments that were not built with us in mind?Tune in to hear our stories and gain a deeper understanding of the emotional labor Black women educators carry every day.Find the scholarship we explore here:Ruha Benjamin's Imagination a Manifesto  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/imagination-ruha-benjamin/1143473094?ean=9781324020974Natalie Morris' "What is ‘racial gaslighting’ – and why is it so damaging for people of colour?" https://metro.co.uk/2020/06/18/what-racial-gaslighting-why-damaging-people-colour-12866409/Jacquelyn Ogorchukwu Iyamah's Racial Gaslighting 101  https://www.instagram.com/p/CA82O3YlqUS/Letisha Engracia Cardoso Brown's Say Her Name: Centering Black Feminism and Black Women in Sport https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/search-results-grid/?contributor=letisha-engracia-cardoso-brownSupport the showThis is difficult work that we're doing, and even though we can't always be with you to bear witness, trust us, we know...
