I would like to see the centrality of minority and indigenous languages (usually marginalized, diasporic ethnic groups) be brought to the attention of our educator communities, so that we apply greater skill, empathy, listening, and knowledge to our crafts as educators.

But let's do this work! Let's "labor for freedom" (as bell hooks says) because liberation is the only way forwards, and I am so excited to do the work for the benefit of our students.

At times there are even tones of "I already did that, no thank you to your ideas". The last two days were based in trust and vulnerability and being a learner. It was a space to imagine education as a liberating space.
