Abstract
We are two communication scholars at di ff erent points in our careers, with Cicely being midcareer, and Katherine a senior faculty member. As two individuals at disparate points in our careers, our perspectives are not identical. Cicely was mentored by me (Katherine), and our perspectives are in sync based on several factors, including being Black women in academia. In this paper, we synthesize fi ve essays motivated by Waymer ’ s (2021) article. Waymer asks how communication education scholars will respond to bold acts of hatred and employ our expertise to promote social and racial justice in our classrooms, cam-puses, broader communities, and the world.
