WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY…
“The trauma that manifested in the bodies, words, and spirits of our littles ones had to come out and, as educators, we held space for them. Our roles as educators and community workers meant that held space for our students so that they could engage with their academic growth. Many of us -- educators at Heketi Community Charter School -- grew up in Mott Haven or in neighborhood similar to it. Many of us had our lives impacted by systemic racism, economic poverty, and other similar forces that we saw affecting our students and their families. As a school leader, I had to hold space for the educators who were experiencing secondary trauma and/or re-experiencing their past traumas. I reached out to Cindy and Ancy to partner with us and create a healing-centered environment at Heketi Community Charter School. They offered work that would center the self-care and healing of the educators in the school, so that we were better able to hold space and offer care for our students. Their work as educators meant they understood our roles and positions in working with students and each other on a daily basis.”
“I stepped in as the School Director at Heketi Community Charter School in August 2017. Part of my work was to infuse new practices across the school focused on data and curriculum as well as focus on our partnership with our students' families and the surrounding community. As the team and I collaborated through the 2017-2018 school year, we were met with the impact of trauma in our students' lives.“ Much of the trauma that impacted the realities of our Kindergarteners through 5th graders could be traced back to system dispossession and marginalization that had shaped life in the Mott Haven neighborhood in The Bronx for decades. Our students' and their families' life opportunities were being shaped by systemic racism, economic poverty, state surveillance vis a vis police and immigration officers, and nutritional scarcity, to name a few forces.”
“Throughout the 2018-2019 school year, Cindy and Ancy met with us to work through scenarios, unpack big ideas and theories, and create action steps that would sustain our healing and well-being and that of our students and families. With love and kindness, Cindy and Ancy held us accountable to the work and held us as we made sense of the new perspectives that were developing. Many of us used their ideas and tools in between their sessions, and continued the work in the following school year. In sum, Cindy and Ancy brought their whole selves to the work and modeled what healing and self-care could look like in a sustainable manner engaging in the daily work as educators.”
