Day 4 of the 3rd-5th Grade WE ARE ACTIVISTS Summer Camp We are forever grateful to Tiffany Griffin, owner of @brightblackcandle in Durham, and her team for the beautiful experience they curated for our WE ARE ACTIVISTS Summer Camp!

They led us through an Identity, Storytelling & Scentmaking Activity. It was STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, & math) in action! Learn more & bring this experience to your community by visiting their website at www.BrightBlackCandles.com We also talked explicitly about some of the systems in our community, discussing how systems help and how they sometimes cause harm. Our mentor text for the day was “Undocumented: A Worker’s Fight” by @duncan.tonatiuh #weareACTIVISTS2026 #antiracismsummercamp #raceconscious #consciouskids #socialjusticesummer
