“Jyoti’s work has complemented the racial justice work my high school students engage in; it allows us to look inside ourselves and our respective cultures to see how we have internalized oppression based on our color.”
—ANITA WADHWA (EDD),

CO-FOUNDER, RESTORATIVE EMPOWERMENT FOR YOUTH
“Pedagogy, regardless of its name, is useless without teachers dedicated to challenging systemic oppression with intersectional social justice.”

Donate to keep TCP growing!
A gift to The Colo(u)rism Project will ensure that the work can stay alive and robust until the subject becomes relevant in the eyes of our policymakers, regulatory bodies, and, of course, grant-making organizations.
To date, the Project has benefited from the generous sharing of capital (social, cultural, and financial) and time by over 500 individuals. The Project’s deepest and most impactful associations and connections are powered by the sheer power of ideas and active bystandership.
The Helpful Grant ($10-$99)
These donations are utilized for maintenance costs, such as accounting fees. The Helpful Grants pay for expenses incurred in a day’s work, such as firefighting website glitches and getting out of DIY rabbit holes.
The Generous Grant ($100-$500)
This pays for researching and writing grants, composing articles and blogs, designing memes, and tracking down the right publications to share the TCP message. This assures I don’t get hoovered by the “Big 5” publishers.
What Academics Are Saying
“…creatively weaves scholarly understandings of race as a social (not biological) construction that is based on history, social context, and imposed ideologies (including stereotypes) into the activities.”
—WENDY LUTTRELL, sociologist and professor at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in the Urban Education, Sociology, Critical Social Psychology, and Women and Gender Studies programs.
“…what is truly exceptional and most remarkable is its subtle yet powerful introduction… a rare publication that lifts up the issue of “colorism.”
—ED GREENE, Ph.D., child development, early learning, and digital media literacy expert
