New on TikTok: “Marcus Garvey said, ‘Education is the medium by which a people are prepared for the creation of their own particular civilization.’ But educated for what? The schools we went to weren’t built to free us—they were built to train us to be obedient. For us to stay confused instead of curious. If we don’t take control of our own learning, we’ll inherit dependence, not power. And if we don’t teach our children who they are, someone else will teach them to forget. This week, tag someone in our community who is teaching and building without recognition. Let them know you see them.” Garvey warned us: if we don’t guide our own learning, we inherit dependence, not power. ✊🏿 Tag someone in our community who is teaching and building without recognition—let them know you see them.
