I love how big the word “student” is in y’all’s word puzzle piece. Perhaps one could say the center of education, currently, is the missing piece.

I loved y’all’s “not a word cloud.” I think this is an interesting design and concept—truly interdisciplinary!
Comment on Biracial or Biethnic? by Allie
I love the way you break down some of the difficult to talk about parts of the conversation on race. I espevially love this point—“Because I’m brown that doesn’t make me a diversity expert or an expert on race.” Have you ever read a book called, This Bridge Called My Back editted by feminist anthology edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria E. Anzaldúa? Its all about—‘don’t make me your bridge to understanding’ from perspectives of women of color. I think its a really powerful text.

Comment on To teach or not to teach? by Allie
I loved your post, Luisa. What do you think of teachers thinking of themselves as “facilitators?” I am thinking of your reference to Friere in asking.
