WHEN YOU HAVE BLIND SPOTS, YOU NARROW YOUR THINKING AND IT ROBS YOU OF OTHER SOLUTIONS. WE DISREGARD INFORMATION THAT DOESN'T CONFIRM WHAT YOU THINK.

  • BE OPEN
  • EVALUATE OBJECTIVELY
  • SLOW DOWN
  • ASK QUESTIONS

3. Step up! When you see something wrong, call it out. Question it.

You are placed in your student's life for a REASON, a SEASON, and the seeds you plant will be there for a LIFETIME.

What kind of seeds are you sowing into the life of your students?

You are Leaders and Advocates

for our students

4. Vote! Not only during the Primary vote, but on your local level. If people are running for office, do your homework on them. Check to see if they make racial justice a priority or where they stand on important issues pertaining to people of color.

5. When you see something, say something. Offer help if it is safe to do so. If a person of color is being stopped by the police or harassed in a store, sometimes just the presence of a white person can help.

HOW DID YOU DO?

When having conversations about race, don't take it personal. If you feel offended or defensive, take a moment and ask yourself why you might be feeling this way. Do you feel attacked or guilty about something? Try to figure it out because if you don't, you could miss the message or lesson being offered to you.
