The Failures of Ethnic Studies (And How to Fix Them) Ethnic Studies educators advise school administrators.

This one is from when I was a little, baby researcher!

I'm a little self-conscious to share it, because I made so many mistakes, but I am proud that #WAESN has made progress on some of the policy recommendations made in the piece, and that I've stayed true to my beliefs!

It’s #FuckItFriday

If you’re still standing, hydrated-ish, and haven’t yelled at anyone publicly, that counts as success.

Go rest.

#MindfulMonday meets #PiDay! 🥧

Math isn’t just about the right answer; it’s about human connection & reclaiming our cultural roots.

As Shirude wrote, math is a site of healing & resistance.

Let’s stop teaching figures & start teaching humanity.

Fuck it.

Not every opinion deserves your energy, not every crisis is yours to solve, and not every email needs a response today.

Protect your peace like it’s scarce.

Happy Holi! 🌸
This festival isn’t just about color; it’s about the victory of good over systemic harm.

We’re reflecting on the Nahui Ollin—finding balance and transformation as we dismantle Eurocentric frameworks in WA schools.

Empty Promises, Endless Committees Washington State’s Ethnic Studies Failure, Revisited for Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action by Tracy Castro-Gill, Ph.D. Black Lives Matter at School Week and Black History Month are …

BLM at School Week. Black History Month.
18 years of EOGOAC.
No accountability.

WA State keeps recommending equity instead of doing it. Ethnic studies remains delayed, diluted, and under-resourced while Black students & educators pay the price.

Slow down for five minutes.

No moral lesson.

No productivity hack.

Just five minutes where you let your body remember it exists.
