This workshop will engage educators in supporting students’ critical thinking skills and using intentional counternarratives to challenge students to unlearn or relearn what they thought they knew. We will explore popular images (social media, ads) and stories (Cinderella, Little Red Hen) as opportunities to engage students in dismantling stereotypes and in reframing those narratives toward justice.

The National SEED Project partners with communities, organizations, and institutions to build capacity for change toward educational equity and social justice. In this session, we will explore what it means to believe that Black, Indigenous, & People of Color (BIPOC) wholeness and wellness are possible. We will self-reflect to cultivate our own stories. We will share with one another in culturally-grounded and critically-conscious ways. We will dream about what it is that we individually and collectively might do to heal and rehumanize ourselves and our racial justice work moving forward.
