A5.1: I remember during my MA days, I was introduced to Jamila Lyiscott's Ted Talk - www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9fm... (I still bring this up with my MA students AND teacher colleagues at the high school level because not everyone has seen it!!) #literacies

A5: As AsAm teacher, teach students out of their ignorance at times by teaching connection of Black language and its connection to history and culture (much of the language that kids use these days come from Black culture) and to expose students to the diversity of what Black language is#literacies

A4.2: Teachers themselves need to do the work and FIND a variety of texts that feature Black writers so we are not always going to the few Black authors because there are a LOT - so challenges like that or to even incorporate more Black texts that are joyful/ genius counternarratives #literacies

A4: At my current school there are not a lot of Black students and sometimes in my classrooms, zero. I think there is a lot of anti-Black sentiments and stereotypes I need to first unpack with my students - but this is always me trying to counter their misconceptions #literacies

A3 (2/2): Even really thinking about even within the classroom spaces and culture - are we featuring Black people in the classroom, quotes from them that we like to hang around the classroom, etc.? #literacies

A3 (1/2): In ELA, CENTER BLACK VOICES, WRITING, DIGITAL MEDIA, ART!! I just finished an Aforfuturistic summative assessment, so I played a lot of Iniko MVs as students entered class, reading authors (so Audre Lorde's essay, Baldwin's writings) interview clips, etc.
