Praise for the book:
“Unearthing Joy is revolutionary and revolution at the same time. If you want to (re)member the spirit and purpose of your work, read this book. It is layered with joy, wisdom, and practical ideas for creating the kind of curriculum that will not only save education, but also save those who teach, learn, and lead. Dr. Muhammad’s clear-eyed framework will make you exhale anything that does not see the genius in Black and Brown children, and breathe in love and joy. Asè.”
—Cynthia B. Dillard, Dean and Professor, Seattle University College of Education; author of The Spirit of Our Work: Black Women Teachers (Re)member
