About Us

Diversify Our Narrative is a nationwide, student-led movement with the goal of reforming a skewed curriculum in light of the Black Lives Matter movement and police brutality that takes place in our nation. We believe that one's prejudice is formed in school, and that schools ought to groom the next-generation of students to be actively anti-racist and anti-prejudiced.

At DON PUSD, we are a district-wide movement with the goal of enacting change in our high schools and middle schools, along with creating lasting impacts throughout the San Diego-area. In our local chapter, we have several key goals:

A) Awareness: Increase awareness among students and faculty about the harms of racism, homophobia, and other forms of prejudice and microagressions.

B) Better Courses: Push for more diverse and less Eurocentric courses like A.P. World History and an ethnic studies course.

C) Connections: Connect with Black Student Unions and other social justice clubs to spread our impacts and help even more people!

Our Process

Our Work Process

We are an organization of over 100 members across 6 schools! With so many diverse students, working efficiently is an exciting challenge. Here's how we work:

Form Subcommittees

We have three subcommittees: outreach, curriculum literature, and AP courses. In each committee you get to work on projects firsthand!

Work with Schools

We collaborate with the district, alongside clubs formed at each major PUSD high school. Together, we make an impact.

Social Media

To maximize our impact and ensure our message of educational equity can be successful, we share and publicize everything we do.
