Pulling at the Root
Countering Dominant Narratives in School

Sat, Nov 15 | 10a - 12p
CMOA Library

4400 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Join Amari Onyx, Erica Hughes, and Bekezela Mguni for a morning of reflection. Together, we will explore the dominant narratives of schools and our power to counter them through communal storytelling. As we explore the roots of these narratives, we’ll center on our personal and shared stories, co-creating a vision of a truly liberatory educational experience.
