For educators who are trying to live out their commitment to equitable classrooms and schools, Dr. Buchanan-Rivera is the guiding voice that our movement needs. Here, she starts with a question, and ends with a love letter. What lives between those pages is the insight, encouragement, and love that will help us to forge a nation of powerful classrooms.

In Identity Affirming Classrooms: Spaces that Center Humanity, Dr. Erica Buchanan-Rivera draws on personal stories and student voices to bring to life what it means to learn in an environment that affirms one's identity. This accessible text offers a significant contribution to the ongoing conversation about how to provide an equitable education to all students.
Director, Author, and Equity Advocate
As a parent of color and educational leader for Equity, I believe that our classrooms, all classrooms, should be identity affirming spaces where every student is nurtured, validated, and affirmed. Dr. Buchanan-Rivera skillfully provides the reader with the knowledge and strategies that will create the spaces that "honor the humanity" of our children while growing our own awareness and consciousness.
