<p>Your voice is important. Your individuality is important. Your presence is important.<br />
-Justin Stewart</p>
<p>We’re not ok but we’re not always comfortable telling people we’re not ok.<br />
-Antija Allen</p>
<p>I don’t want my students to be shocked that I am black and that I am teaching them.<br />
-Antija Allen</p>
<p>A lot of people don’t know what we are going through as black faculty because we are so resilient.<br />
