We will report out as a larger group. - Thank you for sharing! en-us 2021-10-31 18:28:32 UTC 2022-11-24 12:08:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/650694153/5bad9cf1d7ea60f7361aff40eacdada3/sincere_partners_KU_Leuven.jpeg Earliest memories.. toniannwilliams14 https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864854611 I think i was about 9 years old.. I was at practice and my coach was dividing us up into groups. My coach divided me and some other girls into a group and called us the "KKK" group. At the time, i didnt know what that meant, but as I grew up and learned about the KKK I realized how awful that was. ]]> 2021-11-03 14:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864854611 https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864855056 2021-11-03 14:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864855056 https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864857068 2021-11-03 14:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864857068 My earliest memory was while an exchange program in the US. https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864857279 I 'noticed' how latins, blacks and whites where differently segmented.
-I need more guidance (this is not seen in school, other than what parents teach).
-Race in my home country is a bit ambiguous as there aren't many different races]]> 2021-11-03 14:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864857279 Living in a 'homogeneous' country in terms of race, where differentiation and disadvantages come more from classism, I didn't have exposure to racism until I grew up and learnt that it happened. I still have a hard time understanding why anyone would think that how a person looks determines 'who/how they are'. https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864857825 2021-11-03 14:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864857825 What I needed to know toniannwilliams14 https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864861301 To learn about Black history sooner. To understand race relations and how that affects my identity ]]> 2021-11-03 14:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864861301 I would have stood up for minorities from an earlier age https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864861504 2021-11-03 14:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864861504 Knowing this directly impacts decisions https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864866877 I would not turn a blind eye on this by the fact I don't know about it, I would consider it in my daily life]]> 2021-11-03 14:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864866877 toniannwilliams14 https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864867573 Learning about black history earlier would have give me the tools to identify racism and how to react to it. I have always been around White people, so as a child I had a hard time understanding my identity]]> 2021-11-03 14:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864867573 brgrobins https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864868144 I remember only becoming aware of being white when I discovered that I was privileged because of it, it was not a big part my identity or a big part of my life beforehand

It was my first time seeing people of different races, especially in a homogenized country.

-My grandmother made jokes towards people of a different color. At that time, my grandma didn't realize that it was racism since she never encountered people of different colors. ]]> 2021-11-03 14:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864869707 Personally, I am still coming to the understanding of race and racism. As a Nigerian growing up in an all black country, it hasn't ever been a subject of discussion except what I watch in movies and see recently. I think sometimes I feel scared because I fear it might be my new normal. https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864869734 2021-11-03 14:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864869734 https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864870506 Racism grows roots in the family and shows its head in private settings.

A particular race isn't static: what is/isn't a race changes over time]]> 2021-11-03 14:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864870506 It may not change it much within my context https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864870659 But I will surely be aware of it and teach others about it]]> 2021-11-03 14:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864870659 In general I would have liked to be more actively inclusive. Take positive actions to include those who felt excluded or that didn't fit. Instead of not doing anything or tryin to group with those who seemed 'popular'. https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864871642 2021-11-03 14:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864871642 Yes, I wouldn't be influenced only by what others think on the matter, I could have my own voice https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864873116 2021-11-03 14:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864873116 https://padlet.com/akilahcarterfrancique1/KULeuven2021/wish/1864874255 I don't believe it would have changed anything.
