One of the greatest benefits I’ve experienced with social media has been building connections and partnerships with educator organizations that are committed to centering culturally responsive education and social justice initiatives in schools. About four years ago, I started following an incredible organization called Little Justice Leaders (LJL) on Instagram and even connected with the organization’s founder, Shelby Kretz. For as long as I’ve known Shelby, she has been the ultimate ally in this work and an avid supporter of all things Identity Talk. All the reason why I’m so excited about this exclusive workshop I’ll be delivering for the LJL membership community. For this workshop, I’ll be talking about how to support identity development in a culturally affirming classroom.
