#BlackGirls #EducatedBlack
A few weeks later, but your girl has finally graduated! I made it. School was frying my brain and I was sick and tired of the administration, the people, the faculty…beyond over it. I was ready to leave as soon as I got back Fall 2016. But beyond that fact, I grew as an individual and picked up new skills and met tons of people in the past two years of undergrad, which I will never regret. Hopefully someday curate into something big, something cool. But nevertheless, its over, and I am very hype for the next chapter: T A I W A N. Click that link to see my new blog and read more on what I am doing there.
I will still be posting here, but I will dedicate this blog more to personal stories along with other random posts I decide to write along the way.
So get ready, for another long written post of adventures to come. I have exactly 3 weeks until departure and here are some things I need to accomplish before I leave:
Build a computer for my mother- VisitArtechouse
- Attend a Bicycle spinningclass
- Visit the Doctor
- Visit the Dentist
Visit the Eye Doc- Obtain my Driver’s License?
- Backup my files
- Create Hair Product Mixture
- Invest in Travel Credit Card?
- Buy a new camera?
Update Website
I got the scholarship! I am even more hype for my summer plans in Taiwan now.
I received the Global Ambassador Scholarship which exposes students to Taiwanese Culture and Language through cultural excursions, to home-stays, and even a language buddy. There’s still some time to apply. Applications close on March 31st so get yours in as soon as you can. This scholarship program is only eligible for US citizens. Also, if you don’t have a passport, go ahead and get one right now. Especially if you do hear the good news, you need to give yourself at least 6 to 8 weeks to get your passport in on time before departure.
In other news, I’ve also submitted my Taiwanese Huayu Enrichment Scholarship scholarship by mail. There’s still time to apply for this scholarship as well. Check out the online guidelines for details. The deadline is also March 31st and for this one, you have to mail in your documents. I am pretty sure the items have to be in their office by this date, not mailed by this date. Once you send in your items, wait a week and give them a call to make sure that they received your documents. Especially if items are coming from separate locations. They have a general info website here and if you’re applying from the US, you can learn more about the scholarship info needed here.
Good luck to everyone during this application season.

Teacher as Activist: Why Educators Should Embrace and/or Participate in the Black Lives Matter Movement
September 29, 2015
Keynote by Pedro Noguera also with Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz and Jelani Cobb at Teachers College, Columbia University
“If you color code the districts based on their racial composition you see this very stark breakdown. At any given poverty level, districts that have a higher proportion of white students get substantially higher funding than districts that have more minority students.” That means that no matter how rich or poor the district in question, funding gaps existed solely based on the racial composition of the school. Just the increased presence of minority students actually deflated a district’s funding level. “The ones that have a few more students of color get lower funding than the ones that are 100 percent or 95 percent white,” Mosenkis said.

“An unenlightened person cannot enlighten others. All he or she can do is spread ignorance and misinformation.”
“A few studies have documented how teachers may perceive or evaluate the behaviors of children in early childhood educational settings. For example, using the Affect in Play Scale-Preschool version, a modified version of Russ’s Affect in Play Scale, a recent study by Yates and Marcelo found that although the quality of pretend play was similar among all races of the preschoolers involved in the study, teachers rated Black children who were expressive and imaginative in their pretend play as less prepared for school, less accepted by others, and as greater sources of conflict than their nonBlack peers (Figure 2)” (p. 3)

Think you’re raising your daughter to be a strong leader? Look more closely: You, and the people around her, may unwittingly be doing just the opposite.
Teen boys, teen girls, and, yes, even parents have biases against girls and women as leaders, new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and its Making Caring Common project found.
Richard Weissbourd, a Harvard psychologist who runs the Making Caring Common project, said he was “surprised by the extent of it … how gendered both the boys’ and the girls’ responses were.”
Weissbourd decided to look at bias as part of the larger goal of helping children learn to be kind. “We were concerned that biases get in the way of people caring about and respecting other people, so our initial study was just looking at biases,” he said. “And one of the striking findings that emerged was gender bias.”
Post link
Bias “can be a powerful — and invisible — barrier to teen girls’ leadership,” Weissbourd said. “Yet parents and teachers can do a great deal to stem these biases and help children manage them.” [Read the full report here.]
