ABS (Asian & Black Solidarity) Power Up: Collective Freedom Dreaming for Black and APISA Educators and Allies 

May 16, 2023 9:00AM—12:00PM

Virtual

The histories and present day realities of all racialized groups in our country are complex and interconnected. Alongside inspiring examples of Black-Asian solidarity, there is a pervasive background racial tension among students and between even the closest of colleagues. Understanding that building our capacity for allyship with one another requires us to acknowledge that we are racialized differently–within our schools and our larger society– Nikkia’s freedom dream for AAPI Heritage Month in 2023 includes co-creating a space for Black and APISA educators and allies to come together to cultivate authentic cross-racial solidarity that nourishes, shelters and uplifts us and our communities. This program will break it down, make it real, make connections, and move toward action!
