Yes We Belong in this Different World: Poetic Renderings of Being a Teacher Educator in an HBCU Space

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) space is a producer of many Black teachers. Out of this space comes both beautiful and burdensome experiences that add to the richness of the HBCU experience. Through poetic renderings, I use personal reflections through phenomenological exploration to highlight my own lived experience as a Black woman teacher educator in the HBCU space. The ultimate goal of preparing (1) culturally responsive urban educators, (2) reflective practitioners, (3) collaborative stakeholders, (4) professionals who consistently meet high expectations, and (5) educators who remain authentic is explored.
