A letter to the faculty from the assistant professor formally known as Keisha Watson:
TO ALL CONCERNED FACULTY
It has come to my attention during my 7 week tenure at this university, that there very serious and entrenched institutions of Systemic Racism that must be addressed. The first order of business is I need me a new title that befits the role I must play if we are to have the fully diverse, anti-Racism, inclusive, BLM loving university we are all longing for. The new position I'm creating is "Majestic Priestess of Color". I was going to go with Majestic Queen of Color but I thought that was too snobby. Don't you agree? Yeah I thought so. And since Y'all faculty members are White I'm clearly the only one who fits the description so unless there are any objections, AND I"M SURE THEY WON"T BE!!!!!!! then I be starting as Priestess on Monday.
Beginning on Monday:
1. Don't nobody call me that slave name Keisha Watson no mo. Anyone who does has to take my 12 day boot camp on Racial Awareness and Sensitivity.
My new name is U'MBequite MoloBoomShakalaka.
2. I will be wearing a traditional African headdress made of Ostrich Feathers and leopardskin. That way people will be able to see me from far away and come running to me with their Racial problems.
3. This new position Majestic Priestess of Color will be equal to the Dean. Equal except that if Dean disagrees with me, I win because, come on Y'all, Majestic Priestess is more important than a Dean.
4. The most important thing to keep in mind is that nothing is more important that Race. If you take a test, mess it up and you of color, come talk to me. If you feeling stressed about having to turn in assignments and you of color, come talk to me. If somebody White, faculty or student commits a microaggression ( "funny look". "eye roll" etc) against you, come talk to me. We be fixin that shit right quick.
Thank you for your attention to this Critical Race matter. It is the only way we can have a harmonious and Racism-free Campus.
Yours truly, U'MBequite MoloBoomShakalaka. (Assistant Professor formally known as Keisha Watson)
