Speaking on Critical Race Theory

July 8, 2021

In April of 2021, I had the opportunity to provide an introductory talk on Critical Race Theory at Bluegrass Community & Technical College to close out their Social Justice Speaker’s series. In the talk, I touched on dominant narratives, the power of story and counter-narratives, and basic tenets of Critical Race Theory.

I’m sharing an audio version below as an episode of the Notes from an Aspiring Humanitarian Podcast.

I'm a macro social worker, social justice educator, and consultant who uses media and education to advance equity and social justice within people, organizations, and communities. I am also the Founder, Host, Editor and Producer of Social Justice Origin Stories, a storytelling project that highlights the personal stories and defining moments that have inspired individuals and organizations to labor for equity and social justice. I started Social Justice Origin Stories because I believe in the power of storytelling and making our experiences accessible to others, because I believe in the liberatory effects of social justice education, to support justice-seekers in finding community and feeling less alone given the relentlessness of oppressive systems, and hopefully to be a resource of support and reflection for those who are thinking through how they could best contribute to the work. We need all who can, to do what they can.
