Tips for Engaging in Honest Self-Reflection & Critical Thinking
- Critically and honestly self-reflect and exame how your position, power, privilege and advantage are used to maintain systems of oppression and colonialism and how that power, privilege and advantage can be shifted to dismantle those systems.
- Create safe spaces for Black individuals and their families to reach out to those in position of power and privilege to discuss their concerns and well-being.
- Actively listen to their concerns and co-develop strategies with them to address those concerns ensuring that the implementation are followed through.
- Participate in conversations and research about anti-Black racism as a way to enhance your understanding on the topic.
- Reduce defensiveness when issues of anti-Black racism are raised.
- Engage in affirming practices that include restorative justice principles.
- Recognize the impact of conscious and unconscious bias in your environment and be actively aware of the biases and stereotypes about Black people that are brought into that environment.
- Enhance awareness of the adverse impacts of anti-Black racism by committing to learning more about the issue, and to unlearning practices and approaches that are systemically embedded and that cause harm to Black students.
