@MrsGraceChoi @TedLasso LOL! Love it Grace!

A5 Honestly, I love talking about this work and doing the work, but I also appreciate talking about silly and frivolous things with these same brilliant friends. Talking about dismantling systems? ✅ Also talking about @TedLasso and online shopping? ✅✅ #novaedchat

@RobKerrFCPS My team gives me LIFE! #novaedchat

Start a meeting with a check on all of those on the team! “How are you?” before “let’s get to the first agenda item.” #NoVAedchat

A4: Community care is listening and having faith in the stories we hear. #novaedchat affirming marginalized voices and showing value for how they can shift our thinking and practice. Make taking time to listen an ASSET.

@halissajacobson Yes, Just like project team this week. It is invaluable! #novaedchat We need eachother!

@RobKerrFCPS @BLoveSoulPower @MisterMinor @pgorski @GholdyM @DrIbram @DenaSimmons We learn so much from you Rob! Thank you for all you do for the cause. #novaedchat

A3: listening, reading and engaging with the experts. Turn to @BLoveSoulPower @MisterMinor @pgorski @GholdyM @DrIbram @DenaSimmons AND SO MANY OTHERS! 401+ years of systemic racism (unfortunately) won’t change overnight, hear the experts in your soul and breathe #NoVAedchat

@drmw33 Team Shannon! <3

A3 - Ensuring that I am surrounded partners who both challenge and suooort me. Ensuring that I have a network in which I can be seen, and have space for failure. RUNNING! #NoVAedchat

A2 Burnout can be caused by defensiveness, fragility, denial and detours. They all drive me crazy sometimes and then I am reminded that there are children being harmed by racist language and behavior everyday. So, I keep going! #novaedchat

@watermanedu LAURA! So good to see you here! I miss you! #novaedchat

A1: An awareness of our racial identity and how it influences our antiracism work is one of the many ways of keeping equity at the center #novaedchat

Understanding whiteness is like an unveiling for everything you know and experience. #novaedchat
