We had the most wonderful visit with Niigaan Sinclair earlier this month. Niigaan was in town to record his audiobook Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre (on pre-order) and dropped in for a chat. 😀 Thank you for visiting @Niigaanwewidam!
One of my students walked into class like most undergrads do at 930am - physically present but mentally still in bed. As soon as she saw me, her face lit up & she said “Hey Queen!” While some may consider her greeting disrespectful bc she didn’t call me Dr. Jones, it wasn’t (1/3)
Being called “Queen” by a Black woman is one of the greatest displays of respect & praise. It made my heart smile. Not just bc she thinks I’m worthy of the title but bc she gets to walk into class every day & see herself in someone that she knows also sees the queen in her (2/3)
On my hardest days in academia, I’m reminded of the power of representation & the impact of my presence. For many Black girls, I am the 1st Black woman professor they’ve ever had, so when they see me, they don’t just see what I’ve done but what THEY can do. They are my “why”(3/3)
