Welcome to The Resistance: An Underground Educators Podcast In this very first episode of The Resistance—formerly known as the Black on Black Education podcast—I'm telling the full story. The real one. The one I've only hinted at before. This rebrand isn't just about changing a name. It's about standing 10 toes down in what I believe: educators deserve better, and our kids deserve freedom, joy, and justice in their classrooms right now.In this episode, I'm opening up about:Why I rebranded the podcast and what it means to be a part of The ResistanceGetting fired—and how that experience revealed just how toxic school cultures can beWhat it feels like to be perceived as "disruptive" simply for doing what's right for kidsThe moment I realized I was starting to mimic the harm I was fighting againstHow I realigned through reflection, rest, and radical honestyThe three promises I made to myself this school year: let go of what I can't control, have more fun, and take care of myselfThis isn't just my story. It's the story of so many of us who've been told to sit down, stay quiet, or follow the rules in systems that were never built for us—or for the young people we serve. If you've ever cried in your car after work, felt silenced, or been penalized for telling the truth while still teaching your students to use their voices—this episode is for you.Links mentioned:Don't Be Like Dan: A Deep Dive into Power Hoarding in SchoolsI'm Gonna Have the Best School Year of My Life EpisodeReflection Prompts:When have you been penalized for telling the truth?Have you cried in your car after work?

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are gearing up for a great food, good company and a reminder of the deep importance of finding gratitude for the work we get to do for young people everyday. On today's episode, I share 7 of things I'm most grateful for in teaching and actualizing Black on Black Education's mission. Additionally, this episode serves as a reminder to all of us to learn and grow in how we acknowledge and support the indigenous community during this time. Although for many of us the meaning of Thanksgiving has change, the history is one that cannot be forgotten or dismissed because the oppressive systems that Black and Brown folks are working to dismantle are unequivocally linked to those of our indigenous brothers and sisters. Below are a few resources to help you focus on gratitude, today and everyday and an incredible post that serves as a starting point for learning about the history of thanksgiving, and the real consequences of the continued propaganda associated with the holiday.

"COCONUT TRIAL" LIVE REACTION W/NELS ABBEY + SCHOOLS ARE COPYING PRISONS - S2 EP12 ➡️Video (filmed by Shezal Laing founder of Sankofa Day) of the Marieha Hussain "Coconut Trial" Reaction w/Nels Abbey + Kehinde: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_3UwFsIdh3/ In this week's Black World News Kehinde Andrew has been looking at secondary schools for his son, Kadiri, which reminded him of how the schools are just prisons. He explains why some not all inner city secondary schools, with mostly Black and Brown kids, are just prisons designed to police mostly Black and Brown children. But the problem is the schools, not the kids because these schools are not a welcoming environment, the schools are not resolving things effectively and the schools not building relationships between children. Schools are historically designed like prisons and are designed by designers of prisons. To support this, Kehinde brings in and breaks down the concept of Total Institution popularised by White man sociologist, Erving Goffman. It's important to overstand that schooling is not education, we can't rely on the schools to provide the education that Black children need. We also need community education so we are going to create a resource bank to offer an alternative curriculum for Saturday School and Black Education, please send in your resource links to mip@blackunity.org.uk and we'll create a Black education resource bank. Kehinde will talk more about schooling stuff in next week's podcast episode when he chops it up with Busayo Twins ("sharer of intrusive political thoughts"). -In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde and Nels Abbey (his second appearance on the pod) share their immediate reactions to Marieha Hussein's "Coconut Trial" verdict and circus (recorded during an IG live straight after the trial). We've also got Kehinde's audio from his speech at the protest during the two-day trial. - Nels Abbey is a British-Nigerian writer, media executive, and satirist. Before this, he worked as a banker. His debut book, “Think Like a White Man” was published in 2019. It contains satire of modern racial discourse and politics in the corporate world. It lays bare the rules by which mediocre White men get ahead. Nel's writings can be found in several major newspapers and magazines. His latest book, “Hip Hop MBA: what the Empires, moguls and Business of rap can teach the World” is out now. Nels is one of the co-founders of @blackwritersguild and a fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. In addition to all of the above, @nelsabbey is a social and political commentator and can be seen contributing to debates on several major TV channels. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS ‘Emoji trial': Black man acquitted of hate crime charges over use of raccoon emoji in politician rowhttps://independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/black-man-hate-crime-raccoon-emoji-b2508680.html Total institutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_institution “This is an attack on our community”: Kehinde Andrews blasts police probe over ‘House Negro commentshttps://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news/2024/09/18/this-is-an-attack-on-our-community-kehinde-andrews-blasts-police-probe-over-house-negro-comments/ In last week's podcast episode, Kehinde gives an explainer about Britain's history of policing Black political thoughthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taE6h5olFYQ Will P.

In this episode of Professor Kimya's class, we deal with Black Education... _________________________________________ Blacks should create curriculums, develop and read materials, and do exams within families and communities-collectives. This is how Blacks bring factual (not conspiracy, half-accurate) knowledge into K-12 and into colleges. K-12 and colleges can add to our knowledge but should never be the origins of our knowledge. I created an academic program in 2011, coordinated the program for nine years, created courses and selected course materials based on content and the demographics in authors and reference pages, conducted academic year program evaluations for the academic department to contribute to school accreditation, and assisted the school library with content reviews and determining materials to remain in the library as part of program evaluations and school accreditation. These processes are needed for our people of various socioeconomic statuses to understand as we access more than a century of Black writings, read more, discuss readings more, stop reducing our people to oppressed, and stop wanting schools to teach our history as only enslavement. This is also why I tell our people to stop crying about "banned books" and doing protests when something grabs attention. Instead, become more involved in PTA meetings, consistent correspondence with school staff, interact with teachers unions, and attend more school board meetings—this includes predominantly Black cities. Yes, Black families have jobs, but we are not the only families with jobs, and we cannot be invisible and waiting for schools-politicians/government entities-employers to make improvements for our people. This is the development of Black USA culture and the Black Inner World, as explained by Harold Cruse and illustrated by Black activists, Black teachers, and Black authors, which have been around for more than a century in the USA. This is how Black education connects with Black health and Black economics. July 15 is Maggie Lena Walker's 160th birthday, and Walker is a trailblazer for solutions that connect approaches for our people. It is important to integrate Walker with what is done by everyday Blacks to improve our people—and more published Black works such as Booker T. Washington, Du Bois, Garvey, Thomas Sowell (global class approach), and William Julius Wilson. ~ Dr. Kimya Nuru Dennis
