That TED talk was a really good one. I would say that I am an advocate sometimes, and active the other times. The truth is, I am not is a place where I engage much with people of color. I don't engage out of fear of rejection, saying the wrong thing or making a mistake and fear. That is the real work that I need to do. This last TED talk was helpful in reframing the conversation between people. I also use my students a lot in my advocacy work as a way to stay safe and not get pushed in my thinking or action by adults doing this work as well.
