Reposted by Celeste MaloneHaley Biddanda @haleybiddanda.bsky.social · 12/11/2025School psychology continues to be a largely white field, despite strides made toward racial representation and equity. Dr. Malone's thoughtful and critical work honors the historical and present experiences of SPs of color and helps us imagine ways to move forward. 041
Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Thanks for engaging with it! It's been both fascinating and frustrating seeing the same patterns over and over. Hopefully, this project will help school psychology recognize and learn from its mistakes. 120

Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 12/11/2025In this essay, I explain why school psychology needs to focus on honoring POC's full humanity, highlight the role of critical histories for antiracism, and share two stories about Black SP leaders.

Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 19/06/2025I saved my document just in the nick of time! My power went out a minute after 😬 These summer thunderstorms are serious! 020
Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I receive this! This is a culmination of decades of hard work & advocacy. I’m proud to be part of this movement & to have been in spaces where I could elevate Dr. Miranda’s name & others who’ve gone unrecognized. I hope my actions inspire others to build community & imagine radical change. 010
Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I think a lot of other attendees feel the same way. You never know how much you need something until you finally get it. It's amazing how much can change in a short time. This NASP was the opposite of my first one in 2010. The sessions we did would have never been accepted. But look at us now! 🙌🏾 120

Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 12/02/2025One of my favorite quotes from this episode! What resistance strategies can we learn from those who've survived oppression? We should be listening to them and taking their lead. 060

Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 23/01/2025These are great recommendations for all educators and school professionals. I'll be sharing with my school psych grad students and other colleagues. We can all do our part to resist and protect vulnerable communities. 01311

Celeste Malone @cmonique1023.bsky.social · 01/01/2025My theme for 2025 is SPACE. I plan to clear the clutter from my life (including unnecessary things, people, drama, & work) to create space for all that fulfills me. Space for rest & healing. Space for creativity & imagination. Space for family, friends, and community. Space for love. Space for ME! 070
