Twenty years ago in April, at the AERA meeting in Chicago, I presented my first paper on Racial Battle Fatigue. This year, we meet again in Chicago, and I’ll be honored with this award. Thank you! lnkd.in/gTvXiwet

Here’s a short clip explaining how Racelighting affects Black, Indigenous and People of Color. @Fharris3 and I developed Racelighting to describe what happens when gaslighting is racial.
