Hey whats up you guys its your boiis Shalayah and the long hair woman from 6th and 7th period. and were back. We have done so much this past few weeks. We went through an emotional roller coaster. to start off we got more into the basis of racism, and implicit bias. We analyzed celebrities ethnicitys which was hard for most of us because we we're realizing things that are imprinted in our brain we never knew was there, or never really paid attention to, it is tattooed there without our permission. Society does this to all of us. At the beginning of each lesson all of our classes went into a group circle to speak on our opinions, we had to learn how to do that respectfully but still bravely. They are being able to learn how we can identtify these terms in society. With some it takes us more time to understand why its important to learn about these things in todays age and time. We also got into learning about micro aggressions and watched videos describing what they are and how they can affect someone even though you didnt mean to be offensive. We talked about how important it is to understand why these might affect someone you care about without even knowing it. There was also this cool project we did with an egg to further describe society roles and perspectives which related to privilege and police brutality, each class threw an egg against the board! It was Awesome! Exept I had to clean it!!!
Thank you for listening to our ted talk!!!
See you next week sisters,
Shalayah and Lizbeth
