We have to have a level of not just teaching competency, but we have to have a level of cultural awareness that’s much deeper than your ability to teach a class.

Recommended reading from NAZ Leadership
Resmaa Menakem’s book is influencing behavioral health initiatives at NAZ

“’The racial divide’ is not like a time zone or the Mason-Dixon line. We can’t heal white-body supremacy and white-skin privilege without addressing and healing trauma.”

Many of us here at NAZ have read or are in the process of reading this book to expand our understanding of trauma. Resmaa Menakem places the body at the center of behavioral health that is fresh and well-researched.

“[M]y parents immigrated here from Somalia almost 20 years ago, I am among the first generation of my family to even attend kindergarten, let alone college … In pushing boundaries, I’ve learned to value education and going to college. Not just because I wanted to break a couple of rules, but because my parents didn’t have that opportunity.

– Shaadia | NAZ Scholar, Patrick Henry High School, Graduate, Rising Freshman, Augsburg College

“I have the chance to work with families who remind me of myself and how I grew up. I was able to have close mentors who supported me through my own journey as I became successful in my own right. I can now be that mentor for someone else.”

– Dennis | New NAZ Family Achievement Coach at KIPP
