My Roots and Soil / Other folks to know & support

I will be continuously adding to this list of collectives pumping more art, mutual aid, and education into their immediate communities.  This web of awareness grows as I grow; it will be imperfect and incomplete, and always changing as I am called further in to initiatives and histories where I can acknowledge all of my intersections and from them keep learning to be more whole.  If you like the things I do, then you may be interested in these sources that have fed and fostered me and my friends, co-workers, students, mentors, etc.  Please know about these movers and creators with the same care and open mind that you've given me.

Educators, art tutorials, and other favorite resources

Below, when I finally remember to add them, are some texts that have been a big part of my own growth as arts educator.  Some specifically guided towards imbuing racial justice and anti-bias discourse in the classroom, and some are just good reading in any context.  And still some are invaluable art/puppetry tutorials from my own mentors and friends
