Most BSAs are set up to be spaces where Black students can express themselves and safely celebrate their intersectional identities. These groups in schools require a commitment from staff and students to intentionally acknowledge the race and cultural backgrounds of the participants. For example, Black, Caribbean, African, East African, Somali, Nova-Scoatian, West Indian, Trini, South African, Mixed, Muslim, Black Canadian, Rasta, West-End, East-End, etc. This acknowledgement can support student-led conversations about race in schools and race is society. These are the particular conditions in schools that also allow for celebration of diverse expressions of Blackness, critical consciousness, and empowerment of students who may be traditionally marginalized. The thinking and engagement that takes place in BSAs can also be leveraged for pedagogical advances such as using student voice in equitable ways, and deeper collaboration with families and community.
