In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Butterfly Luv Hugs discuss:

• Appointing qualified educators 
• Establish an environment of support
• Removing biases and creating spaces
• Meditating to bring confidence and understanding

 

Key Takeaways: 

• Equity in school can be achieved by appointing a qualified educator. Schools shouldn’t give up on any student, and must support the ones that are especially having a hard time. 
• Establish that we are all not here to change one another, but everyone’s here to respect, accept, love and support each other for who they are and help each other be successful.
• Remove biases, create spaces where anybody would feel like they belong - that they would not be treated differently. 
• Meditate and be still and know that the universe has your back. That knowing will bring confidence and understanding of these things you’ve learned that you now must teach others. 

 

“Providing that safe space is important right now for young people, especially for young people of color… where they would be respected, loved, supported.” - Butterfly Luv Hugs
