Who do you follow?

I started a Twitter account years ago and let it go dormant for some time.  About 3 years ago I dusted the account off and started to use it again.  It was during a PD session through our Equity Leads that we were asked to do an audit of who we followed on Twitter.  I didn’t actually follow that many people, but I started to see the power in Twitter to gather and capture information/perspectives.  In my learning I also started to understand whose voices and perspectives I was getting all the time through the people I follow and whose voices and perspectives I was not getting at all. Recognizing that I needed to grow my understanding of Anti Black Racism and the lived experiences of Indigenous people to be a better administrator, I sought out perspectives that were new to me.  Here are a few people I follow now:

Emmanuel Acho

Jeewan Chinaka

Kike Ojo-Thompson

Tanya Talaga

Jesse Wente

Nick Bertrand

Debbie Donsky

Desmond Cole

I enjoy reading their perspectives and spend much time reflecting on what they say and how I need to grow. 

Who do you follow?

Who do you think I should be following to further my growth?
