¿Cuándo Podemos Descansar? When Can We Rest?: A Latina Leader's Testimonio
María L. Gabriel (Independent Researcher, USA)
Copyright: © 2021 |Pages: 25
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-7235-1.ch001
Abstract
The author uses testimonio as a way to situate the barriers and successes she has experienced as a Latina educational leader in Northern Colorado for 25 years. The setting is based in the backdrop of several worldwide issues in 2020 which created a dire need to address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and social justice within industries and organizations, including educational systems. 1) National political division, 2) disparate access to healthcare and the disproportionate numbers of deaths to COVID-19, and 3) murders of Black Americans by law enforcement have re-affirmed the dehumanization of Black and Brown Americans. Solutions and recommendations are shared based on her shared experiences in moving a DEI educational agenda forward.
