In 2021, after adopting the Eastside Pathways Equity Pledge, in an effort to mobilize the commitment to “reduce harm and increase equity” we explored the learning culture (pedagogy) in Eastside Pathways.
We confronted the intersectional need to be affirmed in the goodness of who we are as diverse people and the desire to learn in a way that affirms that diversity. This resulted in the launch of the Wisdom Series – a mixed media program that centers authors, creatives, and thought leaders of color to learn and unlearn about different concepts.
Read/Watch the media we are exploring through this program.
We will be adding content every month.
