Abstract

This chapter explores the experience of practitioners doing equity and inclusion work during a time of increased campus unrest at the University of Missouri. The authors position the understanding of their experience as partly shaped by what they have learned or come to understand about their identities. They do this through the use of testimonio. As a result of these testimonies, they identify two areas of connections in their experiences as practitioners of color. These include preserving their energy and fear's impact on voice. Based on these connections, they conclude by sharing their experiential knowledge with other practitioners who share in their plight.
