Dear Precious
@bellolorde.bsky.social
Educator. Disruptor. Believer in the transformative power of community… also a little petty, messy and judgy. Psuedo writer.

I started writing letters to my younger self. Not sure if anyone else wants to read them… but they’re here.
Dear Precious,

You belong. You belong because you are here. You belong simply because you are. You belong. I know you will forget because I still do. But maybe, because we are planting this seed now- maybe you won’t forget as much.

From before to forever- love first
Me, your future self

“I share that belief and the conviction that it is in choosing love, and beginning with love as the ethical foundation for politics, that we are best positioned to transform society in ways that enhance the collective good.” - bell hooks

I am often asked to explain white privilege by educators who are resistant to believing it.

We are living the an example: if you are an immigrant and are white or white passing, these ICE raids don’t affect you the same. You’re skin color protects you regardless of class or immigration status.

An eighth grade teacher leading a debate class on gathering research found this.The teacher changed their question of the day to “Why would the government be deleting information like this?” What role does censorship play in current events?

MLK Day was raised in Congress EVERY year from 1968- 1983. Multiple members of Congress disparaged him. In 1983, 5 senators voted against the bill.

US elected officials debated the content of his character openly on the US Congressional floor. Presidents should be held to that standar

What if you approached yourself with the love and care of a doting parent?

I might be taking student voice to a new level. They asked to choose my holiday nails and I said yes.

To my educators…you got four days. You can make it.

The weaponization of this selective outrage should terrify us all. It asks that we turn off and ask our students to turn off humanity and critical thinking skills. To instead blindly support a position because of discomfort with the truth. @ruha9.bsky.social brought voice to those being silenced.

Yesterday in talking about school safety someone said

“You don’t go to a hardware store looking for milk”

I can’t stop thinking about the levels of truth and how far reaching that is for all us
