What is Cultivating Justice?

Cultivating Justice with Amy White is a series of essays that equips readers in becoming allies and co-conspirators for justice and equity in order to promote liberation and healing for all.

I write from my perspective as a member of dominant culture who advocates for justice and equity in public education. While my writing is education-focused, many of the topics I share on are applicable to a variety of fields.

Topics include

  • Developing cultural competency, including culturally proficient teaching practices

  • Understanding systems of oppression, including unpacking white supremacy culture

  • Honoring and celebrating various elements of diverse cultures & facets of identity

  • Healing from the impacts of systems of oppression through valuing our own humanity

The words ending with -ing are all meant to be continual, because we never fully “arrive.” We are always becoming and growing in the work of allyship.

From the philosophical to the practical, join me as I share what I’m learning along the way. The process of cultivating justice is imperfect and ongoing, and I’m honored to be a guide as we become people who seek justice and equity for all groups and all people.
