Great post by @FunkyPedagogy . I agree that black educators do not always get the recognition on platforms like this. It feels like you have to work harder to be 'noticed' on Twitter as someone recommended to follow. https://twitter.com/FunkyPedagogy/status/1276754010121424896

I know I'm good at what I do, but I often avoid engaging in some conversations on Twitter, especially with the Twitter elite, because I feel I'm going to say something stupid or be told I'm wrong.

Then when we do get high engagement it's because we are sharing antiracism posts. Where's the same engagement when we're posting other resources for the curriculum or talking about things other than race? Are black voices only valuable when it comes to talking about race? No

Like @FunkyPedagogy was saying in her post. If you don't SEE them , you don't go on to promote them. I always try to retweet and share the work of teachers from various races and experience and I know there's many who do the same.

I wish to see more of the Twitter 'elite' doing this and actively seeking out teachers outside of their circle to follow and promote to others.

When I'm not posting about race, I'm sharing English resources I've created, Youtube revision and wellbeing videos for students and The Happy Teacher Planner I created. I am more than my anti-racism posts.

Name teachers of colour you recommend following because of the work they do as a teacher (as well as the work they do for antiracism). I recommend @MsBLit @charleneshaw_ @kleohepburn @OSaunders92 @missjredwards @FunkyPedagogy
