Title:  Black Space in Education: On Antiblackness, fugitivity, and how we get free 

 

Description:  This talk explores antiblackness in education and how Black students, educators, and families refuse and resist. Specifically, this talk engages how we carve out space, how we develop and sustain Black space in education for Black folks to engage in the political act of Black dreaming, and how we build strategies for wrestling with our educational realities, while fighting for Black educational futurities.

2025 Conference 

This is our 5th year anniversary! 2025 marks our 5th time offering a FREE, virtual conference for folks around the globe to come together and celebrate the power and potential of Black children. This is our 5th opportunity to identify the ways Black folks show up brilliant, buoyant, and bountiful, ready to teach and learn in schools not prepared to see, serve, and secure us. This is our 5th mix, calling out all the ways schooling spaces are not like us. 

 

Sometimes you gotta
pop out & show 'em!

The Michigan Department of Education's efforts to support African American students began in 2015 with the creation of the African American Young Men of Promise Initiative (AAYMPI). In 2017, the Initiative expanded to include the support for young Black men and women in Michigan schools through the African American Student Initiative (AASI). To date, the AASI is the only State-level Initiative to reach classrooms and has engaged with over 1,500 Michigan educators.

Each year the Initiative is designed to take educators on a journey that focuses on personal and professional transformation by providing the brave space to reflect and dialogue about topics that are central to our collective humanity. Together educators engage in learning that explores facets of their cultural selves and the intersection of their multiple identities. Additionally, the Initiative equips educators to examine and interrogate individual and collective values and beliefs to eliminate marginalization, disparities, and disproportionality within Michigan schools. Integrating knowledge, skills, and behaviors that systemically eradicate racism and advance diversity, justice, equity, and inclusion is the core of this Initiative.
