“To be ratchetdemic is to achieve a state of consciousness that allows one to operate in the world having mind, body, and spirit activated, validated and whole without distortion or concession as one acquires all essential knowledge” @chrisemdin Some Saturday 🔥🔥🔥

FYI, Comfortable classroom contexts are important for teachers too. Find a wall space in your classroom and share your life/story/passions. Family photos, diplomas, vacation pics, awards. BE HUMAN #ContextBeforeContent #HipHopEd

It's deceptively simple, but the best way to empower a child is to point out their strengths, help them articulate goals, & tell them you believe they can do ANYTHING. Someday they may forget the dreams they had at 12 or 13, but they'll never forget that someone believed in them.

This is happening across the US. Please RT and educate. CRT is not typically being taught in K-12 education. Culturally Responsive Pedagogy and Social Emotional Learning are not the same thing. This is what happens when we eliminate strategic development of critical THINKING.
Happening now at a school board meeting near you: fear-mongering propaganda disguised as “concern.” Them: Diversity and inclusion is Marxism and Socialism. Me: Diversity and inclusion is love and justice. We all need to speak out against this well-organized witch-hunt and lies!

Good teaching is modeling discomfort. it is sitting with what you are struggling to articulate and letting your students/peers/family watch you struggle... & eventually overcome. This is especially important for White folks as they engage with each other around race #HipHopEd
