Black Educators Socials

A group photo from one of the Seattle Black Educator Socials events.

Black Educator Social (BES) events are organized by a committee of local Black educators in independent schools and are designed to provide a space for Black educators in Seattle to build and strengthen community, revitalize, and practice using Black joy as resistance. BES events of the past have included ax-throwing, drag shows, pumpkin carving, and breaking bread.

Four Events This Year

The next Black Educator Social for this school year will be online. Black Educator Socials are intended for black educators in POCIS NW member schools.
