Jameka Haynes  •  August 26, 2025 Let’s tell the truth: DEI isn’t evil, scary, or negative. But the way it’s being distorted? Whew. Some folks use it to check boxes, push politics, or perform advocacy instead of actually living it. I just wrapped a 6-week Humanizing DEI Group Coaching Experience, and the biggest breakthrough for participants […] The post 🦋 Humanize DEI with Dignity, Empathy & Integrity appeared first on Brownicity.| Brownicity
Laura Marti – March 20, 2025 Visiting antique stores has become a favorite outing for our family whenever we’re on vacation. Wherever we go, we track down the local antique shops. We look for used books, music albums, VHS movies, comic books, vintage clothing, kitchen items and dinnerware, tea sets, hand-crocheted afghans, and old wood furniture […]| Brownicity
Maveah Griffith – December 17, 2024 We are all former children, but not all of us can say we were children during 2016 when the shift in political atmosphere took place. We know how adults feel about politics, because they can articulate their thoughts and most of the time will not hesitate to pontificate at any […]| Brownicity
Laura Marti – March 20, 2025 I recently came across the name Augusta Braxton Baker purely by chance. Have you heard of her? I had not. So I did some digging and I want to share some of what I learned about this amazing woman. In the world of children’s literature, few figures have made as […]| Brownicity
Dr. Kimberly Ortiz-Hartman •  March 16, 2025 “What color are you? Where are you from? No, where are you really from? What are you?” If you’re a multiracial or multicultural person, these questions are probably all too familiar. For many, they might seem harmless or even well-meaning—after all, the person is just trying to get […]| Brownicity
Dan Berry  •  February 18, 2025 I’m not sure how many of you have ever been interested in putting puzzles together, but if you have, you know how frustrating it is to reach the end of a puzzle only to find that some pieces are missing. You could have 998 pieces of a 1,000-piece puzzle, but […]| Brownicity
Dan Berry  •  January 21, 2025 Many of us learned long ago that life is more like a marathon than a sprint. While most of us may never actually run a 26.2-mile race, we can all relate to the concept of a marathon as a long, grueling challenge. Life is filled with struggles, difficulties, and hardships.

Tracey McKee – September 24, 2024 I had the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C., this summer. While there, I walked the trail of monuments and memorials, ending the day at the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial. As people came and went, I watched as each took a moment to gaze up at King’s face. Some faces […]| Brownicity
Laura Marti – September 20, 2024 Although we often pride ourselves on being a nation of immigrants, I wonder if that’s where the pride ends. The recent political discourse after the 2024 presidential debate, particularly around Haitian immigrants in Ohio, has made me reflect on our conflicting attitudes toward immigration. How can we honor our immigrant […]| Brownicity
Brownicity •  August 22 2024 On August 22, 1964, Fannie Lou Hamer delivered a powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention that changed the landscape of American politics. Hamer, a Black sharecropper from Mississippi turned civil rights activist, spoke with unwavering courage about the brutal voter suppression and racial violence she and other Black citizens faced […]| Brownicity

Tracey McKee – April 23, 2024 I, like most white people, can spot flagrant, inhuman acts towards people of color as racist. And most of us know that snide remarks and intentional slights cross the line. But what about the less obvious forms racism can take, like trying to relate to a Black person by sharing […]| Brownicity
Jyoti Gupta – June 18, 2024 As a social justice educator, I’ve been teaching children for years about inclusion and belonging. I went on to incorporate what they — and I — surmised from these workshops into my critically acclaimed children’s book “Different Differenter: An Activity Book About Skin Color.” Now, I’m working on the follow-up, […]| Brownicity
Lucretia Berry •  February 6, 2024 I teach an Antiracism 101 elective for high school students. The elective is meticulously designed to enhance students’ capacity to comprehend racism in its institutional and structural dimensions. The course intentionally departs from traditional narratives centered on personal biases, and delves into a comprehensive analysis of racism’s historical, cultural, […]| Brownicity
