I am here for connection, community, and a shared space to learn and engage in the knowledges I am most passionate about. As a sexuality educator, it is often lonely and this space gives me life and so much to think about! Thank you. I carry with me my little child self, all the youth I have and are working with now, my mentors and my family.

Here today to help guide this awesome day that I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to collaborate with Ileana on. Here to be in solidarity and connection with other feminist educators! Carrying with me lots of thoughts, feelings and ideas...my history as a teacher/educator...my multiple relationships to schooling and learning-- joy, frustration and even some pain.

I came here for community and finding people who valued feminist work as teachers and incorporate it into their pedagogy and approach.  I bring my grandmothers, mother, and ancestors with me!

as a White cis-gender educator who works with predominantly White upper-middle class pre-service teachers I am thinking of the push-back and resistance to teaching Black Feminist theory and pedagogy as "relevant" to their school contexts--the tendency, still, is to think that is knowledge only for "them" "over there", not relevant to a school with a predominantly white population

I came here today to be in teacher community. As an out-of-the-classroom teacher (former, is a hard word to swallow) I am thirsty for connection.
