You offer quite a bit. Allyship is also being refreshing for those who struggle with race and racism in overtly distructive ways. Choosing to be and be in community is a true exhale. Naming truths as they are and listening is also allyship. #literacies.

Thank you all for engaging. More to come. #literacies

A6 I am looking forward to meeting you all during AERA 26 #literacies

Let me know what you think! #literacies

A6 Allies are willing to remind us to rest. It is a synergy where your willingness to engage requires their love and care, too. Allies will remind you to "sit this one out." The current movement for Black people to rest while our allies take up these current moments is love. #literacies

A4 Say more about Dubois vs. Carver.... Do you mean Washington *Booker T.? #literacies

A5: Allies are actions is my standard way of thinking. They way we say things or mean to say things can get lost. Our actions and deeds are our evidences of allyship #literacies.

A4 sure the teacher exists. Start in the inverse...have students explore stats and the questions raised that generate statics that skew toward deficit perspectives. Gloria Ladson-Billings Achievement Debt helps us see this. #literacies

A4: Consider interdisciplinary project where you students learn ideas and concepts within ELA and then invite your colleagues to offer ways you could reinforce math learning in YOUR lesson. They will find the connection, and BOOM- Got em. #literacies

A4 The challenge is that teachers who want to work in formulas and math facts need support. What is the census? How is it used to count people? How do race and class change how the census is used? Then engage in real-life data to explore these. #literacies

A4 Being defunded is disturbing and disappointing while also revealing a great compliment. Push forward. #literacies

A4 I had a math teacher develop all of her word problems based on race history facts. "How many years after the signing of the Emancipation Pro were Black people able to vote?" #literacies

Q4 Admittedly, this is one of my favorite questions, and I am born and raised as an ELA/SS human. LOL #literacies.

A3: We all participate in race framework, as ally's, objects, and subjects. Our literacies and awarenesses of this is how our actions are able to serve the positions we hold or are endowed. #literacies.

A3 ...And it is a narrative of our republic that illuminates how our very government and institutional structure rely upon race in order to advance itself. #literacies

A3: As such, racial literacies help us to see when this "centering whiteness" work is happening. Without a racial analytic lens, we would not even know it is happening. #literacies

A3: Indeed. Racial literacies is an intentional process where seeking more perspectives and views serve us to grow our own thinking. Thank you for that. #literacies

A1: Thank you, Kyle. Building community while interrogating hard topics can occur. Two things can be true at the same time. #literacies

Yes, one does not cancel the other. One does hold more weight in how it shaped the law and laws to follow for others. #oooof that is a hard part of the analytic truth of racial frameworks. #literacies

A2 This is also a hard reality to admit. Thank you for pushing that reality out there. #literacies

A1 Engaging and allyship are important. Consider the multiplicity of also inviting the opportunity to "unplug." My dear colleague invited me to a "sound bath," and the idea that she needed it and extended it to me was amazing.

A2 The rights to literacy/cies say so much, as it is connected to every facet of life. Education and schooling is the portal where it is systemic and explicit but it plays itself out in how media can drive how we see and think.

A2 This is a favorite query for me as it reveals the interest convergence in challenging ways. I won't say more but it really is hard when we are taught to run from discussions of race and racism.

Q2: What is your understanding for why discussions of race should be had in isolation to other areas of marginalization or oppression? Not in resistance to intersectionalities but holding focused space for people and communities oppressed by racism? #literacies

Hello Dr. AnnD. Welcome. Lake Life sounds delightful.
#literacies

Connecting your choices to things you love makes it easier to engage and do self care.

A1 I think I have actively chosen to lean in. It is important for me that I pay attention and understand that those impacted by racism, which is technically everyone, but those oppressed by it do not have the opportunity to walk away. So, I stay engaged. It helps me to think.

Hello Caroline. Thank you for your leadership and engagement. Big shout out also to @nicolemisra.bsky.social as well. The team is tremendous.
