WHEN I GET HOME: A CREATIVE SYLLABUS

I created this multi-media syllabi as a testament to how I learn, piece together, understand and contextualize what got us here? What energy is around us? How are we relating to a piece of art? What has been offered as expansion - as acknowledgement - about why we can all bop to the same song - and why blackness is not a monolith but a magic of different and same experiences.  Building this syllabi allows me to understand how all my worlds intersect.

This is a working document. Nothing is ever finished, but can be added on, worked through, reimagined, and taken up. I offer this with love.

When I Get Home by Solange is an album I was immediately in awe of. How magical black women are, I really wonder if the world will ever really know.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Click on the link to each image. It will take you to the content that is linked for each section. Again, this is a working document. If you want to add, change, or discuss anything please hit us up.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This is for anyone and everyone. However the voices we center in the discussions and the content are Black people. This is for anyone who likes to understand the relationship to content from various different realms. This is for educators who need an activity or want their students to imagine a world where Black people are centered, safe, cared for, and wanted. All which would make for the first steps towards liberation.
