While I enjoy acknowledgment and I strive to be the very best educator that I can be. I wanted people to read these words and be upset. I know that a lot of what I said did not fit the overall theme of the article, and what is written is real but a little sugar-coated. That is not a knock against writer Jamie Swenson, with who I had some very positive conversations. This is an article highlighting the fact that UW helped put me in a position to fight inequity that our Black and Brown students experience.
