Naming the anti-darkness and systemic bias in education is the first step in dismantling the myths of neutrality and meritocracy, especially for Black and Brown students who face significant educational inequities.
In season 1, we invite viewers to rethink the language and frameworks we’ve been taught to accept in education. We move beyond deficit-based narratives toward an honest examination of power, harm, and possibility for Black and Brown students:
From “achievement gaps” → to resource gaps, opportunity gaps, and systemic exclusion that contribute to educational inequities.
From “classroom management” → to healing-centered engagement and abolitionist education that acknowledges systemic bias.
From “generalizing all experiences by people of color” → to explicitly naming anti-Blackness and anti-darkness as contributing to learning inequities for Black and Brown students.
From “education reform” → to “education liberation”, with the hope that Black and Brown children will be prepared to preserve life (for self and others) and thrive in community as care-takers of the earth.
