Educators of Color Leading Together: Redefining Transformational Leadership

Education is an instrument to promote and engage individuals in social transformation, by bridging the gap between people from different backgrounds and identities. As Black educators, we position ourselves as culturally responsive socially just leaders and educators who desire to transform the ways in which our students learn about diversity, equity, and social justice. We demonstrate how we share our identities and experiences with the hopes of encouraging others to consciously make meaning of their lives and hopefully change their thoughts, feelings, perspectives, assumptions or beliefs about others in the classroom (Simsek, 2012). Through sharing our narratives, we juxtapose our lived experiences and perspectives to guide our forward movement within our classrooms.
