I'm trying to do a better job at this. Trying to feature more POC authors not only in my classroom but also in my leisure reading as well

In my classroom, YES. I’m proud of the mix of culturally relevant material and classics I currently have available. At home, no. I have a personal deep rooted interest in classic philosophy and canon of literature texts ranging from Wuthering Heights and Dracula to Tolstoy/Dostoevsky/existentialist authors. I don’t feel the need to justify my personal interests, but I do feel the need to present a wealth of culturally relevant texts to my students.

Not yet but it’s in progress. I don’t have much from the traditional curriculum on my shelves.
