In August of 2018, BARWE began sending out a monthly inquiry series to encourage white educators to reflect on their own identity and biases, and interrogate the ways in which they show up in their classrooms. Last year we set the goal of deepening our understanding of our own identities, strengthening our relationships to our colleagues who are already doing this work, and building accountability to the communities we serve. Our focus was on dismantling white supremacy and cultivating Black joy. This year, we want to continue to deepen and broaden the work by continuing our multi-month dives into the specific topics of risk and partnership.. Before moving into new topics and readings, we want groups to take the time to set the stage for the year to come. By affirming our commitment to this work, and its importance, we hope to embed the momentum needed to continue when things get challenging.
