As someone who loves teaching and is committed to striving for anti-colonial pedagogy, I also really love this question that Conely de Leon asked: "How do you get out of the space of the classroom within a classroom?"

Umipig also encouraged us to name our teachers. I want to take this space to thank some of the people who have been important teachers for me. Salamat
