Promoting Equity and Inclusion through Connection, Resilience, Exploration, Awareness, Transformation, and Enjoyment
At Creative Muse Inc., we are deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across all aspects of our work. We recognize the systemic inequities that persist in our educational landscape, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Our mission is to address these disparities head-on, providing equitable opportunities for all students to thrive.
Connection
We value the power of connection and believe that building diverse coalitions is essential to drive meaningful progress. Our community encompasses artists, educators, partners, and individuals from various disciplines who are united by a shared purpose. Through our biweekly DEI meetings, we center discussions on bias in the classroom, encouraging open dialogue and cultivating a strong sense of connection among participants.
Resilience
Restorative justice, mindfulness, and meditation play a pivotal role in fostering resilience within our community. By using these tools, we develop awareness of the challenges that need to be addressed and sustain resilience in social justice movements. We respond to real-time issues through timely DEI training, workshops, and professional development opportunities, empowering individuals to take action and effect positive change.
Exploration
We believe in the power of participatory design and the creative process as culturally responsive tools. Our approach fosters inclusivity and ensures that learners of all backgrounds can engage at their own entry point. By embracing adaptable strategies, we create an environment where everyone can explore their creativity and expand their horizons.
Awareness
Our DEI framework centers on cultivating cultural awareness and self-awareness, including a deep understanding of biases. We emphasize mindfulness, encouraging reflection on systems of oppression and the social-emotional impact of trauma on students. Through our responsive biweekly meetings, we continuously explore and discuss core DEI concepts, promoting ongoing growth and understanding.
Transformation
We celebrate the transformational impact of education on students and educators alike. Our approach fosters growth and reciprocal learning, emphasizing the dynamic exchange of knowledge and experiences. By creating an environment that promotes personal and collective transformation, we empower individuals to reach their full potential.
Enjoyment
At Creative Muse Inc., we prioritize creative learning and the joy of the learning process. We recognize that focusing solely on the final outcome can limit exploration and hinder true artistic expression. Instead, we honor the principles of slow design within an anti-colonial, less-is-more framework, allowing students to fully engage in the creative learning journey and find joy in every step.
