Pre.. Post.. CARE

 THE "PRE"..

The word care prior to these readings/viewings, I always just thought of it as having the best interest in the individual. Wanting to see them better their current situation/life, wanting to see them grow as a person, wanting them to have the best foot forward for their future. Along with this care has always reminded me of the word time. Because in reality, if you don't spend the time to invest in your relationship with that person, take the time to maintain and grow that relationships with that person do you actually care? Actions speak louder than words, and being someone who cares or claims to care is someone who will not stop showing up.

THE "POST"..

After watching and reading, I realized I have somewhat of a path that resembles some of what they said. However, I have forgot or missed out on some key points of the word care and its meaning in youth spaces.

Value their opinions, their concerns, their questions and allow them to be heard not just seen.. Talk to them don't talk at them.

Accept their identities, cultures, race, etc.. Accept and encouraging all of those aspects in this space, making it a space that each individual can feel welcome, wanted and comfortable. 


Care is consistency 

Care is time

Care is acceptance & inclusion

Care is value

Care is necessary

    I enjoyed reading your blog. You show how important Care is to all of us. I like the strong words you mention about Care such as, "Care is consistency, Care is time, Care is acceptance and inclusion" which is a strong way to describe Care and how it should look like in our society. We want people to be "heard, not just seen" and show how important they are.

Locating yourself, myself, ourselves..

"They said they knew at every moment of their lives they were not White, but they felt that White people did not know they were White." This quote from, Locating Yourself for Your Students by Priya Parmar and Shirley Steinberg heavily caught my attention.  Was there a time I realized I was white? Was there a time I realized other children didn't look like me?  I never can remember a time that I realized I was white, as the reading says. I don't remember being a young child and thinking "you look different than me." The only difference I noticed when I was a kid was a very few things.. 1. If you were a boy or a girl because at that age you would hear "boys are icky" "girls have cooties" 2. If I liked to play with you Another quote that I resonated with was.. "Our students began to write and perform passionately about the recovery of their own ethnic identities, ant their struggles as young women and men of color living in a male-dom...

Tatum & Racism

Discussing a lot of topics with people can be very difficult or intimidating at times. Racism is one that is definitely in that category. It's a hard topic in that sense of fear and worry of using the wrong terms. It can be hard to grasp that the fact that someone could be so poorly mistreated in this world because of their skin color. Racism has divided the nation today of those individuals that support Black Lives Matter and those who do not. And let me say this, while everyone is entitled to their own opinions BLACK LIVES DO MATTER . They are people, they are humans, they have feelings and goals just as others and they deserve to be treated better.         Thinking about my education on race and racial identity, it was very lacked. I saw a glimpse of it my freshman year of college in a sociology class. My sophomore year I did not see much, but it wasn't until my junior year of college where my classrooms really started bringing it to light. FNED and a number ...
