When I think of the term "anti-racism", I see the tremendous amount of work that we as a society, particularly those of us in the field of education, need to engage with to create a better world for our students. Partnership with students, families, and communities is so essential to this work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think both terms need each other to succeed. In order to continue anti-racist practices we must build our relationships with our students, their families, and the community. Learning about one another and making efforts to stand up and voice inequality will build trust and make a difference in our work.

I think that building authentic partnerships with families of color is an important part of anti-racism in schools because many aspects of our schools are based in white culture, and families of color often don't feel welcomed or comfortable reaching out to school staff. School staff reaching out to families and doing our part to make sure we're listening to them and learning from them will help with this.
