As early childhood education and development professionals, we have known of each other for many years through connections in the field and mutual friends and family. However, it is only in the last year or so that we have engaged in one-on-one conversations about critical practices toward equity in ECE. We have discussed the visible and invisible impacts and expressions of racism, white supremacy, white supremacy culture, and critical race theory. We have discussed our individual and collective socializations into participating and perpetuating systems of dominance and oppression within the field. We have also discussed the potential of creating and centering “beloved community” as a strategy toward equity.
