Who We Are

MIRANDA DILLARD

Miranda's teaching career began in 1987, and since 1996 she has been a music teacher at the Paideia School in Atlanta, Georgia.  Anti-racism work evolved from diversity committees to the White Privilege Conferences and symposiums, taking courses centered on bias, race consciousness, social justice facilitation, facilitating a BARWE (Building Anti- Racist White Educators) group in her school, presenting at a National conference on moving our anti-racism beyond performance, to currently being a member of the advisory board of the National BARWE organization.  She co-facilitates a monthly virtual BARWE group for educators across the country. A chapter she wrote entitled "Root Systems" for the book Post Colonial practices of Spiritual Care: A Project of Decoloniality during COVID-19 and Racial Violence will be published in 2022.
