About the blogger

Sachi Feris, Principal blogger, Blog editor, and Workshop facilitator

My name is Sachi Feris and I am a White, Jewish woman of Russian, Polish, Lebanese, Syrian, and Cuban descent. I am a mother to my daughter, born in 2012, and my two sons, born in 2015 and 2017. My husband is from Argentina, so we speak Spanish as a family (I am not a native speaker).

I have a B.A. from Bates College, an M.A. in Sociology and Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, and an M.P.A. in Public Policy from Baruch College’s School of Public Affairs. As an educator, I have been dedicated to social justice education and bringing issues of race and equity to our youngest children since 2000. I am the founder of Border Crossers, a nonprofit dedicated to racial equity and I have taught Spanish part-time at several NYC elementary schools.
