Fostering A Sense Of Inclusion And Belonging
We should advocate for equity and inclusion in the normative culture that perpetuates and promotes students/individuals’ discrimination based on race, disability, and gender.
Revaluing the ways some students are underrepresented, undervalued, under resonate in communities, and are consistently positioned, has caused long-term problems for individuals and communities. We want to carefully reconsider and reframe our minds on what has been historically and currently portrayed about some groups. We need to reform our future. It is a clarion call. The “damaged-centered narrative” has a limit and hindered some student’s progress and it cannot continue perpetuating itself. It is necessary to rectify exclusion and discrimination by deconstructing the colonized perception, which is endemic in the system.
There is a need for you to have a voice of conversation in your school environment. Let the behavior of someone not affect you. Use self-determination to empower yourself. This is an engine for change.
