The Importance of Diversifying Your Social Circles

I think teachers in general just need to also check their own social circles outside of school. Oftentimes teachers will come back and say I realize that I don't have anybody who doesn't look like me in my social circle. You can't humanize people and really create those authentic relationships if everybody who you surround yourself with is from the same socioeconomic demographic ethnicity or everything else. So diversify your social circles. We have to all start there because of the redlining in our country by default we're segregated and we're siloed. It's a stance and it's something that we need to think about all the time.
