Abstract
This study uses photovoice to explore the lives of teachers of Color in predominantly White US educational settings. Through affinity groups and an arts-based approach, it highlights the parallels between the educators and their students, advocating for compassionate workspaces that prioritize well-being, time, growth, and wonder in the profession. Findings suggest that these strategies foster a sense of community, enhance professional satisfaction, and ultimately improve retention and satisfaction. This research offers significant implications for policy and practice in diverse educational systems globally.
