Too often, dominant groups justify their privilege and power in international schools through stories. They tell myths, fictions, and lies of non-racism. They seek to explain why the status quo exists and tell stories defining reality as they see fit. But such stories are at odds with the way many People of Color experience international schools. This keynote shares counter-stories or a counter reality that gives insight into the experiences of one Black international educator.
