In Episode 2 of the Reimagining Black and Asian Solidarity Podcast, hosts Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz and Dr. Judy Yu are joined by original Black and Asian Solidarity Collective members Vanessa Leung, Dr. Diana Liu, and Dr. David Beauzil. The group discusses how educators and community activists can move past symbolic gestures and advance transformative solidarity across different lived experiences. They share stories from the classroom, doctoral journeys, and community advocacy, offering a roadmap for moving beyond performative allyship toward practices of mutual accountability.
Highlights:
- Moving Beyond Symbolic Action: High school teacher Diana Liu shares insights from her classroom discussions regarding student concerns about performative allyship and what authentic, day-to-day solidarity looks like in practice.
- Storytelling as Liberation: Seventh-grade English teacher David Beauzil highlights how literacy, storytelling, and honoring student identities serve as tools for both learning and liberation.
- Advocacy and Racial Justice in Education: Vanessa Leung, Co-Executive Director of the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families, discusses navigating educational policy, rejecting scarcity mindsets, and coalition building across communities.
- Resisting Erasure: The collective addresses the rise of book bans and censorship—noting over 22,000 book bans in 2025 alone—and emphasizes why teaching history and preserving ethnic studies frameworks are acts of resistance.
- The Power of Showing Up: David and Diana reflect on meeting at an anti-Asian hate protest during the pandemic lockdown, which evolved into a supportive partnership through their PhD program at Teachers College, Columbia University.
