Be mindful of ALL the RHETORIC you consume.
Be mindful of the power you hold to shape, create, and alter not only your reality but the reality of others.
Be mindful that you have every right to a rigorous education and the right to demand excellence from ALL of your teachers. Keep us in check.
Be mindful that words matter and that there comes a time when silence is betrayal. (Thank you, Dr. King.)
And thank you Chimamanda Adiche for saying, "The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”
The rest of ISJs will be returned tomorrow and I expect some stellar SAS. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE PREPARED.
Love and Light,

ReplyDeleteYou've got to love Orwell. "“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” He's so right, and this is why all of our single stories must be told.
