@JaelRichardson @DDSBLibraries @thefold @FoldKids It's always a pleasure. I'm going to have to plan to trek out to Brampton for the festival.
@JasonHimsl @DDSBLibraries @thefold @FoldKids So good to see you!!
With @JaelRichardson's keynote for @DDSBLibraries now wrapped, I'm filled with admiration and respect here. It's inspiring to see the thoughtfulness and care that informs the work of @thefold and @FoldKids. (Also, I want to be just like Jael when I grow up.)
@JaelRichardson @TheFOLD_ @FoldKids @diversebooks @DDSBLibraries @DDSB_Literacy "You have to care about the care workers." The people doing the work must be experiencing communities of care themselves. "What are the ways you can show care for one another."
@JaelRichardson @TheFOLD_ @FoldKids @diversebooks @DDSBLibraries @DDSB_Literacy "Understand that the work is never done." This acknowledgement brings peace to @JaelRichardson, as it helps with pacing and choosing battles effectively. Extending grace and self-care are so important.
@JaelRichardson @TheFOLD_ @FoldKids @diversebooks @DDSBLibraries @DDSB_Literacy "Recognize that you will make mistakes." A important idea here from @JaelRichardson. More important, "What is the way we react when a mistake has been made? What are our care practices in dealing with them?"
@JaelRichardson @TheFOLD_ @FoldKids @diversebooks "Who's missing?" a question that drives the work of @TheFOLD_, but absolutely one that should be an active consideration for educators in @DDSBLibraries and @DDSB_Literacy. Who is overrepresented on our shelves and in our classrooms? Who is missing?
@JaelRichardson @TheFOLD_ @FoldKids @diversebooks "I knew it could be good, but I didn't know it could be that good." Inspiration for @JaelRichardson for continuing the work - feeling the power of community and having a space where you can be yourself and have your identity affirmed.
@JaelRichardson Fascinating to learn more about the origin story of @TheFOLD_ and @FoldKids. Taking inspiration from the @diversebooks movement, she started the festival in 2016 as readers need to see themselves in books, and authors and publishers need a platform to share their work.
Anthony Mackie was in my movie. I talked to him all the time on set and during press. He and my mom talked all the time too. He loved him some her. And even we won't approach him in public 😂
One thing y'all gotta learn about Anthony Mackie; leave that man alone 😭😭😭 it's public knowledge he does NAWT like to be bothered in public & you crying cause he said no lmao
