When I started Florida State University for undergrad, thanks to the CARE program my first class was taught by a Black man named Dr.Billy Close. He said something the very 1st day that has stuck with me years later: If I’m uncomfortable, everybody is going to be uncomfortable.

I don’t like that people in academia make their work inaccessible by not using plain everyday English. Over 50%of adults in America cannot read over a 4th grade level. You’re writing about certain groups and their spaces but they can’t understand your work. It’s also ableist.

I remember the times I needed to return home well into my 20s. My parents never asked for money, instead they gave me what little they had. They never asked when I was leaving. They just let me be and built me up. I was never too old or too grown. This GRACE helps. Not hurts.

@Numerology1126 It’s the language of the ivory tower, the intellectual performance, and the need for exclusivity and gatekeeping that is a greater priority than accessibility. I will say many of us in the field have to play the game to sit at their tables and be “validated.” I’m sick of it.
