“The best growth is aided by community. Yes, we teachers should study our craft vigorously. We should take classes. We should attend conferences. But, in truth, without discussion practice, we will never see our fullest potential. Here, teaching is no different from other pursuits: Lasting improvement requires dedication to the humbling cycle of practice and reflection.”
― Matthew R. Kay, Not Light, but Fire: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom

“Why can't there be more white people coaching each other on their racism?”
― Elena Aguilar, Coaching for Equity: Conversations That Change Practice

“You can strive to make every conversation one that dismantles white supremacy and systems of oppression. Every conversation can contribute to building a more just and equitable world, a world in which every person's full humanity is centered and seen, a world in which conversations are bridges to connection and healing.”
― Elena Aguilar, Coaching for Equity: Conversations That Change Practice

“Remember: It's not your fault that things are the way they are, but it is your responsibility to do something about them.”
