I will make sure to earn my own learning and incorporate the distinct histories of bipoc communities in the classrooms.  As well as checking my biases and continue to be critically conscious.
I will also make sure to reached out to all BIPOC  comminutes and find ways to best support them in anyway possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Seek, learn, share, and affirm the distinct histories of BIPOC communities; and unlearn dominant narratives. Honor the legacies of Native and Black resistance to white supremacy. CALL IN- my own communities to gain a  deeper understanding and empathy for all BIPOC communities with love and empathy.

# data[].attributes.body
I need to deconstruct my own racism and identify where it was learned and/or taught. I need to study AAPI history with the same intention and energy that I bring to learning Black American history.

I will reexamine the sources I go to for news: TV, social media, and written news. Most of the sources I use or are familiar with are owned and operated by White men and therefore are whitewashed.

When discussing AAPI experiences in my classroom, I will NOT only focus on trauma. I will find ways to celebrate, admire, and affirm AAPI contributions, excellence, and culture. I will humanize survivors of AAPI racism and hate.

# data[].attributes.body
I need to ensure that I am learning about different cultures. I will own my own learning by learning more about the AAPI history and doing the unlearning. Continue to check my own biases and challenge those around me.

# data[].attributes.body
I will own my own learning and be critically conscious and careful in what media I am reading or watching and open my research to multiple different sources and stories. I will bring this with me into the classroom and make sure there is space and time for all students to share their story and their identities and making sure there is not one single story being shared.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Incorporate history and current events related to AAPI into the classroom.

Bring culture, power, and joy.

2. Be critically conscious consumers of media and information. Humanize survivors or those who have passed due to AAPI hate.

We  know more about the personal lives and stories of the perpetrators, like the one from Atlanta. How many know the names of the women who died, their stories, their lives, their religion, hopes, dreams, why they came to this country, how did they choose or end up in the massage parlor. And how many know about the perpetrators sex addiction, how religious he was, his age, his name, family, and more. Be critically conscious consumers of information.

3. Representation matters.

Incorporate AAPI voices into leadership and all parts of the institution.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no hierarchy of oppressions - dismantling white supremacy means learning/unlearning about and uplifting voices from ALL marginalized identities. It shouldn't take a  violent tragedy for the AAPI community to be brought in conversation.

Be a critical consumer of news and teach students and people around me (friends/family) to do the same. Who wrote this news headline? What did they want people to believe? What information did they leave out?

In teaching social justice with students: How many Asian American/Pacific Islander  influential figures do we know? Same question for Indigenous influential figures? Latinx influential figures? What does racism mean to you? Who experiences racism? What questions do you have about racism?

# data[].attributes.body
What I do know is with the work of becoming anti-racist. You can NOT ignore the histories of all racism in any forms. You don't get to be selective when to be anti-racist. I know to affirm all identities. And I will continue to own my own learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Be mindful of what media I consume, what internal narratives I am absorbing. Commit to calling in problematic behaviors and be open when being called in.

# data[].attributes.body
In counseling I will provide more opportunities for students to teach me about their community and celebrate their experiences. I will empower students to share this with not only myself, but with others and to be proud of who they are.

# data[].attributes.body
To continuously and simultaneously celebrate and center the experiences of different BIPOC communities:
I commit to doing  that ground work: what do I know and what do I need to unlearn - Check my biases and stereotypes that I may be perpetuating -

Continue to be Critical consumer - and actively learning the history and culture of the different ethnicities within the Bipoc community.

# data[].attributes.body
In the realm of art, I hope to engage children with artists who have similar experiences or open the floor for student voices to share personal connections and by doing so it lifts their identities. When we can provide insight into the identities of others, students (staff, families, etc) will open up a new perception of the world around them.

# data[].attributes.body
I commit to owning my learning and finding the true history white supremacy culture tries to erase. I commit to authentically bringing multiple perspectives and identities into our classroom to celebrate and affirm. I commit to finding ways to show up for ALL of our staff, students, and families and using my voice and my privilege to dismantle white supremacy culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I will own my own learning and make more time to read, listen, and reflect. I won't wait for another tragedy to learn about the experiences of different BIPOC communities and engage in conversations.

Own my learning.

I need to ensure that I am learning about different peoples and cultures. Making sure to do my best to find my blind spots in order to ensure that I am doing my best to see the bigger picture and have the words and skills to see and dismantle hateful stereotypes and actions. I will seek out and learn about different people and their cultures and stories.

# data[].attributes.body
I will continue to listen, read, engage in conversation, and amplify BIPOC voices. I will continue to learn on what is now my own history, as an Asian American who also identifies as Mexican, the history that was chosen not to be taught. I will reflect on the ways I have internalized racism in this country, and question deeper the ways I have come to terms with the "way things are," so that I can model a healthier view of Asian American identity for my AAPI-identifying students. I will continue to grow as an educator so that inclusive, anti-racist work truly includes everyone and all. I will center BIPOC communities, my students and their families and those in my own circles, in their strengths, in their power, in their greatness without having to have tragedies be the starter and definer of conversations of our communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Continuing to incorporate AAIP/BIPOC voices, athletes, leaders & history in my P.E lessons along with hearing from students and families on who they would like to celebrate during P.E.

I will not wait to speak on or educate about BIPOC. I will not allow news , social media or current events  to tell me when is a good time to talk about hate. I will not let  my comfortability stop me from telling the facts and stop allowing people to use a single story to  justify hate. I commit to continuing sharing my knowledge and dismantling hate while celebrating our BIPOC community and making sure everyone feels safe, heard and loved.

I need to educate myself on Asian Culture. I will own my own learning. I want to engage in conversations not to just say "i did my work" but to genuinely have these conversations and be comfortable and get to a deeper root.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose to continue to own my own learning and also use the knowledge I gain to have conversations with my white friends and family. I will work to amplify and affirm those voices, the stories, the history, the NAMES of BIPOC individuals and groups in my conversations with teammates, staff, family, and friends. I choose to not let my white privilege shelter me from the pain and the racial injustice of any BIPOC community member.

# data[].attributes.body
Not only will I own my learning, but I will speak up against hate speech or stereotypes (from friends, family, etc.) even when they claim its a joke. I am not learning if I continue to let this happen around me.

# data[].attributes.body
When thinking about who white supremacy culture harms, i will consider all BIPOC communities. I will not assume that any group is OK. I will prioritize my own internal work - reading, listening, learning; and interpersonal work - asking, engaging in conversation, both inside and outside of school.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be responsible for my own learning and not be overcome by the ignorance that surrounds me. I will also be more mindful of what I teach my students and make sure they learn from all other perspectives than just their own.

# data[].attributes.body
I commit to continuously check and challenge my implicit biases. To relearning history and re-structure my was of thinking and perceiving information. Learn more about different BIPOC experiences and amplify those voices in my teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I will make sure that I continue to learn more about different BIPOC. I will try to make sure to lessen the blind spots I have and continue to reflect on all of the different experiences we all go through. I will make sure that our students and staff know that I am here for them. It's important that our whole community feels safe and loved. We need to stand united. Not just when horrific things happen, but all of the time.

# data[].attributes.body
I will continue to prioritize current events and dig deeper into learning about them - from the angles and perspectives of the subject. There are so many sources about one topic from an oppressor's point of view and I will push myself to consider my sources. I will also prioritize ensuring that these conversations do not happen because of a traumatic event. This is an ongoing conversation, that needs to be talked about especially in white spaces. Terrorist acts should not be justified and is not something to be silent about.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to continue to reassure myself that I am Asian enough to use my voice as an Asian woman to speak out against anti-Asian racism.  I will continue to educate myself and my students on Asian culture and celebrate their many contributions to our world today.  I will not let the world divide the BIPOC community and will work together for a better world for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I will broaden my perspective and understand that white supremacy is a threat to humanity not just the black community. I want to make space to discussing and thinking about the racism that AAPI identifying Americans are experiencing. I will educate myself by reading books from AAPI authors. I will watch content that portrays non stereotypical views of AAPI people.

# data[].attributes.body
I commit to reflecting regularly on whose story and voice was celebrated in the class and whose was silenced. I commit to taking action to learn about more cultures and teach them to our kids.

Continue to educate myself around the different BIPOC communities and their experiences, continue to have conversations with my family, friends, and students around the different BIPOC communities and their experiences, celebrate every and all students and their identities within our classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I will teach about and celebrate the rich histories & cultures of BIPOC communities, knowing that if I am only teaching about specific communities when they are being attacked/when there is trauma, then I am doing it wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I won't wait for another incident to happen to discuss current and historical events in different BIPOC communities. I will think critically about how oppression has impacted different groups of people and will encourage my students to do the same by providing them space to share their thoughts. Outside the classroom, I will continue to own my learning around the work being done locally by members of the AAPI community.

# data[].attributes.body
I will own my learning by educating myself about different BIPOC experiences. I will ensure that my students feel seen and heard and that I talk about all communities .

# data[].attributes.body
It starts by owning my own learning, I will make more time to read anti racist centered books. With this I will incorporate an "All Around the World" segment in RIC possibly, during morning meetings. I will continuously seek feedback and embrace it to better myself and my students.

# data[].attributes.body
Push myself to act proactively and not as a result of a tragedy nor upcoming Holiday. To do this I need to make time to educate myself so that I do not end up perpetuating biases about different cultures. I want to find space and time in our speedy curriculum to slow things down and provide space for families to share more of their experiences, talents, and cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
To continuously and simultaneously celebrate the experiences of different BIPOC communities, I will continue to find ways to learn (books, podcasts, articles) about different peoples' experiences. When I can bring myself to, I will learn the histories behind those experiences. When I can bring myself to, I will share what I have learned with others in a way that does not suppress or diminish other identities. I will highlight intersectionality where I see it. I will strive to get to know people as individuals, not merely but encompassing their identity markers.

# data[].attributes.body
I will choose to seek out the experiences of my coworkers and families through thoughtful conversation and questioning. It will be critical to find media, literature, and stories that center BIPOC characters in their own voice AND experiences. Not have a story told about/ for them. I will choose to CREATE and CO-CREATE resources that will benefit all students if I cannot find ones that will center and celebrate them in my rooms.

Personally I will engage and unpack experiences of my own and tune into that of others to become a true coconspirator in this work. I will be more conscious of my empathy and agency in this work as I learn and Unlearn through reading and thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I will educate myself so that I can share, celebrate and highlight the lived experiences, cultural traditions and rich history of the AAPI community with my KIPPsters. I also commit to closely examining by upbringing and biases to better understand how my personal history has shaped my lack of knowledge of the history of the AAPI community in the US so as to ensure that I contribute to disrupting the narrative or single story that is tied to the AAPI community.

# data[].attributes.body
Having urgency when it comes to giving students opportunities to discuss and value the beauty of BIPOC. Not just having conversations because of current events. I will unlearn my way of compartmentalizing so that I can fully allow myself to understand my feelings and the root of them. I am aware that it starts with me undoing my internalized racism that will give our students tools to change this world. I commit to doing my research and sharing the history of different BIPOC communities. I think having a social studies curriculum is a start but there's so much more to be done.

# data[].attributes.body
I was to be proactive instead of reactive. For all of BIPOC community. I want to have these conversations and connections with others before a tragedy happens. I will bring more into my classroom, whether the culture is represented in my classroom or not. I will educate myself in ALL cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
I will own my own learning so I can educate myself on the history and culture of the AAPI community and have conversations about what I learn with others in my life. By learning more I will be able to unpack and interrogate my own biases. I will be a critical consumer and find different news sources so I am aware of current events that I have not been previously aware of.

# data[].attributes.body
I will own my learning. I want to listen to more Asian narratives and media. I want to immerse myself in more Asian culture. I want to build stronger relationships with my Asian friends by having these deep conversations with them. I want to learn from them and for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I will unlearn and relearn history, current events, stereotypes, and learn about lived experiences. I will spotlight each culture throughout the day as I teach; especially during months where we celebrate different leaders. I will educate my self to educate my students so that the AAPI community is up lifted and celebrated by our kids.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is an important wake up call that it shouldn't take a tragedy to realize our blind spots. I want to spend time truly analyzing myself and my blind spots now so I can start to embrace and celebrate different BIPOC communities so they know their worth and that their voices are heard before another tragedy.

# data[].attributes.body
Initially, I asked myself "How could I not know this history? How was this not taught in school?" This is not an acceptable response, but a way I distance myself from personal accountability. I commit to finding resources to own my own learning that do not center whiteness, but center the experience of all races, including the AAPI community. I commit to learning about the diversity within the AAPI community and the different lived experiences of the AAPI community.

# data[].attributes.body
I will acknowledge and act upon my own blindspots when it comes to my understanding of history, current events and live experiences of those in the BIPOC community. I will commit to listening to the stories of others to learn more deeply. In the classroom I will continue to create a space where all students are able to partake in open and free conversations around their identities and experiences without fear. I want to push to further incorporate into the curriculum voices and stories of AAPI individuals. In doing so I will also need to be a critical consumer of the types of literature and materials I am presenting to students in doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
Continuing to ask, to listen, to read, to self educate, to watch, and to disrupt. Reminding myself that BIPOC does not stand alone as 1, 2, or 3 identities but multi-dimensional, complex, and various ones. Injustice to some is injustice to all and anti-racist work does not live in a commitment, a classroom, or a PD but in every action and every thought. Just as the media chooses their stories and what is important to share, I have the same power in my personal spaces and my professional and I will choose to center AAPI just as fervently as the many beautiful identities within BIPOC and marginalized communities.

# data[].attributes.body
I will do more research and continue to learn on my own. I will talk to my students about what is going on in the world, celebrating the good and talking about the bad. I will push myself to do the work and not wait for someone else to do it for it me.

# data[].attributes.body
use my platform as a white woman in science to support, share, celebrate the huge impact the BIPOC community has had on our country- sharing and celebrating those that may not get the attention and admiration they desrve. Also be a protector and advocate for those who are not in a place where they feel heard or safe. My role is to show others another and better way to be a support

# data[].attributes.body
I will not compare my experiences and pain in an effort to diminish the experiences of others. I will engage other Black people in my circle of friends and family about the history of other BIPOC communities. I will read, and I will share what I learn. I will expose my son to cultures other than his own, and teach him to love and embrace the differences he sees in other BIPOC.

# data[].attributes.body
I will own my own learning and work to decenter white supremacy in my own definitions of what it means to be part of a marginalized community. We are all fighting the same fight and I will work to learn the history of all BIPOC individuals because it all relates and it all matters. I will celebrate diverse voices in my classroom and with my students in order for them to feel safe, heard, valued, and open-minded when it comes to stories that are somewhat different from their own experiences. I will continue to be an anti-racist educator by bringing in knowledge from all parts of the world (read-alouds, critically conscious lessons, etc) and highlighting positive stories within that as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I commit to reframe my thinking about oppression and racism. Too often I link the idea of racism in my head with only the experience of black african-americans in this country. However, racism and oppression has a long history and is widespread, impacting people of many many ethnicities.
I will learn and teach about the oppression, resistance, and voices of the AAPI community, and of other BIPOC communities as well. I will seek to build relationships, understanding, and knowledge so that I can have a deeper understanding.

Check my own biases and narratives that I have been exposed to. Read and listen to the experiences of BIPOC. Celebrates the identities and cultures of my students not just on a superficial level. Own my own learning.

I will continue to reflect on whose history and stories I know and don't know - then interrogate why and own my learning. I want to further interrogate the intersectionality of identities and experiences. I will equip myself and others with the knowledge of others stories and celebrate them.

I commit to reframe my thinking about racism and oppression. Too often I unconsciously link the ideas of racism and oppression only with the black african-american community in our country. But racism and oppression have a long history that impact people of many ethinicities.

# data[].attributes.body
I will work to include AAPI stories of fighting oppression and stories of joy in order to include more voices and experiences that have not been present in our conversations on the fight for civil rights and the cultural diversity of our country. I will also challenge myself to continue my own education to combat my exclusion of AAPI stories and voices in my own life and classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I will continue to educate myself on the history of various BIPOC communities. I will celebrate in the day to day life, starting with family and traditions, bringing those voices into the classroom and into the institution at large. I will do my best to encourage students to build their critical conscious lens through facts given and taught how to fact check. I will do my best to celebrate fellow BIPOC colleagues in all they do and bring to the table.

# data[].attributes.body
I will continue continue to center and celebrate my community, however I want to be inclusive with my other BIPOC communities I tend to only see the fight of my people. When in reality ALL BIPOC are fighting the same fight!!

Not waiting for a current event to uplift a community. Noting that my personal experience as a black woman is an important one AND not the only one! Not using my own struggle to ignore others. Giving ppl their flowers while they are here, meaning celebrating communities without the need for tragedy

# data[].attributes.body
I want to challenge myself to learn more about different BIPOC experiences before I do any teaching of my own in the classroom. Instead of making a lesson or assignment first, I need to dig deeper, expand where I am reading information and media, and do the work needed to be able to accurately and thoughtfully teach my students. I also want to encourage more student experiences and backgrounds in these lessons and conversations.

# data[].attributes.body
I will create space for conversations about identity and experiences for students in our classrooms now and in the future. I recognize that in order to respond to current events, students need the space to understand identity and experiences from history in order to move toward a different future. I recognize that as a consumer, I need to actively think about the voices that are represented in the information I receive. I must ask myself who benefits? I must ask myself who is blamed? Who is shamed? I must recognize the danger of a single story and I must spend time learning the different lived experiences of my students and colleagues. I must learn so that I can celebrate the identity of everyone I come into contact with inside our school building and outside our school building as well. I must create space for myself to learn, my students to learn so that we can grow together in a safe space where the identities of all are recognized and celebrated as a gift.

# data[].attributes.body
By needing to continue and expand my own learning. Not waiting for a PD to learn about history and current events. I also need to listen to the Asian community and hear their stories. A lot of learning comes from truly listening and hearing what someone has to say.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be a critical consumer of media and seek out stories that humanize and center AAPI and BIPOC. I will speak with my White circles about the history and current events. I will find texts that represent the AAPI community that dismantle harmful stereotypes.
