Our first article in the Communiqué is officially published as part of a three-part series. Article one is titled: Reimagining Leadership Through the Lens of Black Feminist Thought. Thank you Dr. , .hayes, Dr. , , and Dr. Erika Woodfor this collaboration.
While I’m grateful for the publication itself, it’s moments like today that remind me of the journey and the ancestral urge to freedom dream.
Earlier today, my sister-scholar and fellow school psychologist, , who supported me through much of the journey I wrote about, sent me a voice memo reading the final section of my reflection, “Creating One’s Own Path: Amber’s Story.” Hearing my own words read back to me felt like being witnessed in my becoming.
So in this video, I am reading my words aloud as a practice of rememory—from past to present—to be still and feel.
The process of these articles reminded me that scholarship is not separate from care.
Leadership does not emerge in isolation.
And naming one another within a beloved community is life-sustaining work.
