I'm definitely aware on the continuum and am actively learning and an advocate to an extent. I am active in my own culture and have even advocated for Latinx, DACA, immigration, asylum seekers and children held in detention centers. But I need to challenge myself to move past active towards an advocate in the rights of the Black community and others who have been isolated and oppressed. This training has made me think of ways to inculcate the messages into the school/education platform. We must start the conversation and plan for how to use our platform to better educate ourselves as teachers, influence the curriculum and listen to our students.
