During #BlackHistoryMonth, Shuntae Richardson, M.P.A., quality supports specialist for the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership at National Louis University, is already looking ahead to this year’s Juneteenth holiday in June. Richardson suggests that early educators start brainstorming ideas to mark the day in their classrooms or programs, and makes some suggestions to help you prepare to create an enriching Juneteenth celebration, including: >>Visit an African American Museum. >>Meet with staff before and after the visit to discuss what you learned, what you felt, and how you might be able to engage with children and families in gaining a better understanding of Black History. >>Discuss what you have learned or didn’t learn about Juneteenth. >>Create an environment during Juneteenth that allows children to learn while having fun. >>Engage in cultural activities that can help staff and families learn from one another.

The Fundamentals of Race and Anti-Black Racism online course will use a reflexive and participatory approach. Past participant Christina shared her experience with us: "This course provided a deep-rooted insight into the anti-Black racism that exists, and the past in which it stems from. It is a heavy topic, but so incredibly important to learn about in order to be an ally and help effect change.” Class takes place online and starts Oct. 4.

#CommunityEngagement is a term widely used yet has vastly different interpretations. In my very biased opinion, to be effective agents of social change, it is important for us to recognize that we ALL ARE COMMUNITY MEMBERS and we each have beautifully diverse talents, skills, resources, power and influence that must be woven together to achieve our shared goals. When we engage with one another, for GHI, it means far more than transactional interactions or checking a box. It means earning trust, being in fellowship, developing an understanding of nuance, not shying away from tough conversations and centering those who are most effected by the inequities we aspire to eliminate. I offer a glimpse into who I am, where I have been and how I aspire to lead as an arbiter of GHI's community engagement efforts with hopes that you each will allow me to learn from your wisdom. #healthequity #maternalhealth #ruralhealth #advocacy #organizing #ittakesavillage #foundation
"As we continue to walk in partnership with our fellow Georgians in our pursuit of fostering health equity, we must do so earning trust, listening actively, being in fellowship often, honoring our past, and being additive to an extraordinarily complex landscape." In our latest Leadership Blog Post, our VP of Community Engagement, Ky Lindberg, shares thoughts on the role of community engagement at the Initiative, and the three core beliefs that have guided her since she was a child. https://lnkd.in/d3VfdSmk
