reflecting on one’s positionality and experiences as a racialized person, and how they can actively fight against anti-Black racism and oppression, both in and out of the classroom.

Instructions:
Submit a reflection journal that builds on the journal prompt listed below. You may choose to write as a traditional journal, a creative writing piece, or upload alternative media (video essay, art) that represents your reflective process. Please note, if you choose to upload media produced by someone else (e.g., video, visual art), you will need to append a written reflection of your own that accompanies the media you have selected. No more than 2 pages double spaced.
Prompt:
What does it look like for you to fight against anti-Black racism and oppression from your positionality? This can look different for BIPOC and folx with proximity to whiteness.
What would you want to express about your own experience as a racialized person? (e.g., African American /Black descent, Asian American Pacific Islander, First Nations, Latino/a, Arab, white European heritage and/or Biracial and/or Multiracial, recent immigrant, etc.)
Considering your identities, how do you show up committed to anti-racism together in our classes, for people we serve, for ourselves?
