Honored to share #DISILLUSIONED with the Coalition for Educational Equity, humbled by the work of the K-12 equity leaders in the room. The stories youve heard about the threats these educators have endured are horrifying. The stories you havent yet heard are so much worse.

I'm so proud to know Bethany Smith, who four.years ago trusted herself & me enough to speak her heart -- a decision that led to her authoring the Epilogue of #DISILLUSIONED, going on national book tour, and writing this 🥰 new essay for @thegrade_ .

If you'd told me five years ago that @jhueducation would bring together @annette3anderson @NormaDayVines1 @NEqualityMatrix @profsonyadouglass and so many other brilliant scholars & educators to discuss the connections b/t #DISILLUSIONED & their work I would have lost my mind.
