In Monique Morris’ TedTalk presentation, she discusses the ways that Black girls are (dis)regarded and (mis)treated within the educational system.  Reflect on her presentation. 

1. What are your initial reactions to the information that she shared about Black girls in school?  

2. Dr. Morris recognize schools as places for healing…and education as “freedom work”.  What is your response to such ideologies about schools.  What does this mean for your work as an early educator?
