My resolve to pursue racial equity and social justice work is aligned with my lifelong quest towards liberation. To experience true liberation in higher education, we will need to continuously dismantle systemic racism and classism, decenter whiteness in teaching and learning and remove structural barriers in our educational policies and practices. Working towards equity in Higher Ed is personal for me because my hope is that we will ultimately create a more equitable and fair learning experience for the future generation of students which includes my own children.
