I Am My Hair: A Black Woman Educator’s Autoethnography of Oppression and Liberation Through Schooling, Bantu Knots, Box Braids, Locs, and a Press
I Am My Hair: A Black Woman Educator’s Autoethnography of Oppression and Liberation Through Schooling, Bantu Knots, Box Braids, Locs, and a Press
In this Voices: Reflective Accounts of Education essay, Eghosa Obaizamomwan-Hamilton argues that for her, and for many Black women, hair is integral to her identity. She situates her knowledge and theorizing in her own body and uses her hair as a way to conceptualize her experiences as a secondary teacher in the anti-Black space of education. Employing what she calls the Bantu Knot Theory, she looks at her hair identity across time to weave together and explore the intricacies and nuances of her experiences in education. She contends that this theory is about constructing her interlocking identities and demonstrating how Black hair is a major marker of her intersectionality as a Black woman educator.

The Rapsody Syllabus: Rescripting the Erasure of Black Women and Black Women Educators Through Rapsody’s Album Eve
This syllabus explores the connections between Rapsody’s album and the experiences of Black women, with an emphasis on education. Much like Black women in education, Rapsody 's talents are often obscured and minimized. Her album “Eve ” is a love letter to Black women and serves as a mirror for Black women educators. This syllabus centers on Black women and highlights the beauty and magic of our presence within oppressive institutions. It works to amplify and extend the nonfungible existence of Black women, the humanization of our voices and words as sacred texts, and illuminate our ever-evolving contributions. Black women’s stories are highlighted throughout this syllabus to underscore the ways our lived experiences can create effective pedagogical practices, space for healing, and disrupt oppressive institutions.
Making Us Matter Workbook
Making Us Matter Workbook
The Making Us Matter Workbook was designed to inspire communities to initiate and organize a small Clapback Collective that is well-informed and has developed a collective strategy to deal with racism and anti-Blackness in the culture and curriculum of their educational institutions. The author aims to help students and educators develop understanding, utilize tools, and employ strategies needed to effectively combat anti-blackness and racial injustice in their schools. This multi-media resource serves as both syllabus and workbook by providing structure, source material, exercises, discussion questions, and vocabulary needed to turn this knowledge into a comprehensive and collective plan toward educational liberation.
