While the Global North's academic culture is romanced by generalizability, testimonio offers an enticing way to incorporate diverse knowledge sources into the curricular cannon. Testimonio offers a radical, critical, spiritual humanizing pedagogy for ethnic-racial socialization (Menchú, 1983). In this paper, I conduct a semi-structured interview with tía, my aunt, a Haitian native, who raised me and has worked for 30 years in special education and English language instruction in New York City and Maryland. She also served as a Sunday school teacher in our Haitian church. Her experience as a secular and spiritual educator makes her a unique voice to speak to how her experiences and identity informed her polyrhythmic pedagogies.
