At long last, Equity Institute presents "All the Things—PNW", a podcast dedicated to all things race, identity, justice, and their function—especially in these uncertain times. Hosted by Erin Jones, Fernell Miller, and Dr. Jen Self, the trio shares their insights/experiences as educators, scholars, activists, parents, women of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals/allies, and global citizens. Here, they hold space for the difficult conversations about all the things that we should've been talking about, but have avoided until now. Tune in on Monday mornings for your weekly dose of "All the Things—PNW".
Erin travels to Washington D.C. to celebrate her former student, Brooke Brown, being named the 2021 Washington State teacher of the year. This week’s episode discusses how and why Washington D.C., a predominantly Black community, is underrepresented and underserved by the government. They talk disparities in education, and the privileges afforded to non-black students versus the structural barriers that burden black communities and families, even though they represent the majority of D.C. citizens.

23. Mental Health of Black and Brown Students
Milagros Thompson, a black female in-school counselor, joins the circle this week to share her observations on the declining mental health of her black and brown students—even more so in-person than online. Fernell discusses why online school offered a safer and more accommodating space for many marginalized students, and the pitfalls of expecting students of color to conform to white supremacy culture. Dr. J brings in the history of social work and the support systems that were inspired by communities of color. Erin tells the story of a negative interaction between a principal and a black student, and why adults need to earn the respect of their black students, not demand it.

22. What We Do to Love Us
Today’s episode starts with a story from a school district in Newberg, Oregon, where the school board banned displays of flags in classrooms, including the Black Lives Matter flag and all Pride flags. Our hosts discuss the hope represented by these flags and the reason why students need them to feel seen. Drawing on their own experiences, Dr. J opens up about the bigotry they faced as a D1 athlete. Fernell explains how she was alienated by her teachers and leveraged athletics to build trust within her racially isolating community. Erin reflects upon her childhood abroad, the culture shock of coming to the U.S., and the reason why she chooses to stay, in spite of it all.
