2019 Conversation with Black Teacher Project (Part 2]

Black Woman Educators in Conversation: Audio from the 4th annual BlackFemaleProject/Black Teacher Project Women’s History Month Event

"I know that the optic needs to be right, that this is Oakland and we are serving a community of Black and Brown children, diverse communities. But it’s really important that we really value and acknowledge and uphold the Black women that come into this work and all that we are asked to do."

— Diane Lang

Summary

In 2019, for the fourth consecutive year, BlackFemaleProject partnered with Black Teacher Project for our annual co-hosted Women’s History Month event: an observed conversation among Black woman educators. The 2019 conversation—co-facilitated by Dr. Micia Mosely and Precious J. Stroud—covers a range of topics related to the distinct experiences and complexities that Black women encounter in the workplace. The four participants lift up the communities and practices that support them in continuing to advocate and be present for students and families.
