What is Systemic Racism? - Gabriela Ituarte

My journey began as a clinical psychologist in Mexico, and over 25 years, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of fostering mental well-being and inclusivity. This journey has led me to become a Cornell-certified DEI professional, and I am deeply committed about participating in creating a more equitable and inclusive society.

¿Qué es un Sistema de supremacía Racial? - Gabriela Ituarte

Pertenencia y Comunidad y cómo eso puede llegar a la justicia - Darryl Riley

“Ya tuve suficiente de la propaganda…. Estoy a favor de la verdad, no importa quién la diga. Estoy a favor de la justicia, sin importar quién esté a favor o en contra. Soy un ser humano ante todo y, como tal, estoy para QUIEN y CUALQUIER cosa beneficie a la “comunidad” en su conjunto”. Malcolm X

Belonging and Community and how that can lead to Justice -- Darryl Riley

Nombres y adaptación by Diana Frazier

Hace poco le había dicho a mi papá que estaba embarazada; Esta fue mi cuarta vez. El tercer embarazo terminó en el primer trimestre y él estaba nervioso de que yo volviera a quedar embarazada. Para él, mi aborto espontáneo anterior significaba que el embarazo es peligroso y podría morir.

Names and Fitting In by Diana Frazier

I had recently told my dad I was pregnant; this was my fourth time. The third pregnancy ended in the first trimester, and he was nervous for me to be pregnant again. To him, my prior miscarriage meant pregnancy is dangerous and I could die. I was irritated at his remarks, unable to see it was his immense love for me coming through as worry. I was his baby, and he didn’t want to ever lose me.

Las escuelas públicas pertenecen a todos, excepto a aquellos que las destruirían - Avery Welkin

The truth is that in American society’s democratic ideal, public schools are for everyone. Even though the reality is that public schools were designed with a narrower focus on serving the white and wealthy, it is very clear now that this is not the goal. Public schools are one of the few spaces, along with public libraries, where American society at all socioeconomic levels, racial/ethnic identities, and abilities are welcome to learn without an expectation of spending money.
