Do The Work.
The Work= straining yourself to be anti-racist; growing in understanding anti-bias; seek out PD; suggest PD; question, question, question; learn and read and listen and grow; act locally and strive for change.
There will always be backlash. Each time. Don’t stop.

I have a request of the parents and teachers telling their kids they can’t read graphic novels: Read some. You’ll see, I promise. There are beautiful books turning kids into lifelong readers, thoughtful humans, art lovers, and brilliant storytellers. Don’t miss out!

Acquaintance, patronizingly: “Children’s books? How sweet. What are yours about?” Me, deadpan: “Trafficking, microcredit, racism, refugees, war, genocide, poverty, adoption, gender bias, climate change, shadism, poaching, immigration, and the US-Mexico border.”

Communication skills?
