When the Future Black Leaders Club from Fishers High School made a presentation to the Hamilton Southeastern School Board, those young people were so impressive I knew I wanted to know more. Thanks to Emily Abbotts and Renee Isom for facilitating this podcast, featuring club members Katrell Readus, Bailey Liner and Myla Cantrell. Listen to the podcast at the link below.
Leaders, that’s why none of them stood for Pledge of Allegiance
Mike, Remember the first amendment.
Thank you for bringing this conversation forward. Thank you Katrell Readus, Bailey Liner, and Myla Cantrell for letting us hear your discussions and how you have experienced the biases of others in the community. As someone myself who is part of a small minority in Fishers, I understand to some degree some of your experiences. Keep using your voice to speak up about microaggressions as it really does require education for people to realize some of the microaggressions and it should not have to be those who are at the receiving end to help educate. This is why it is so essential that this is taught and others who are allies speak up on behalf of all.
Fact: We all can lead no matter the title or level you are at.
@Larry, thank you for your curiosity. Your desire to learn more and share with us is helpful. Thank you for being of service. Your regular post are great… THIS POST: Making space for children to find their voice and their way of activism, is my responsibility as an adult. I don’t need to agree to be respectful. Pretty good podcast episode.
