Dr. Kiah E. Nyame serves as Founding Executive Director of Ujima (ooojima) Rochester/Ujima Atlanta, Inc., a pro-social development agency serving severely-at-risk youth and their families and possesses expertise is in family, youth, and generational cultural trauma and youth intervention/prevention.
Steve Lysenko has served in a variety of roles in education at all junctures, Kindergarten through Graduate School, in the Greater Rochester Area since 2000 and is also the President of the Local Chapter of the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME).
My guests focus their significant expertise on the topic of Multicultural and Anti-racist education. Touching on the long history of our educational systems teaching a “white” version of history, ideas and models are discussed that challenge our entire educational system to “tell the truth” by teaching multiple truths and perspectives that honor and celebrate the experience of people of color. The challenge of inviting the system to engage in this crucially important dialogue is highlighted along with the “cost” to students of color when they internalize messages that “white is better.” Examples of multicultural educational practices are discussed.
