Question - According to Yosso (2006), "Critical race counterstorytelling is a method of recounting the experiences and perspectives of racially and marginalized people. Counterstories reflect on the lived experiences of People of Color to raise critical consciousness about social and racial injustice. Indeed, Communities of Color cultivate rich and continuing traditions of storytelling. Recognizing these stories and knowledges as valid and valuable data, counterstorytellers challenge majoritarian stories that omit and distort the histories and realities of oppressed communities...counterstories bring attention to those who courageously resist racism and struggle toward a more socially and racially just society" (p. 10).
