Karen Attiah: Columbia canceled my class on Race and Media. But I decided to teach it anyway. So I built a school, instead. 500+ students online and in person. My first independently operated course and lecture begins TONIGHT! WE MOVE!!

About Us

The Moment That Sparked a Movement

I created RSS because I believe we are living through a time that demands more than survival—it demands strategy, imagination, subversion, collective power, and dare I say – joy. This is a school for those who feel the weight of the world and not only refuse to be crushed by it, but who want the tools to create a new world. A school for those who want to fight back with knowledge, spirit, and community.

RSS is not a think tank. It’s a training ground for the curious, for the world builders, for the resisters, and for the joyful warriors among us. Here, we take seriously the intellectual and emotional labor of building a liberated future, which means interrogating the systems we currently live in.

My approach is rooted in internationalism, global resistance movements, with an emphasis on real-world application and skill-building. This is an approach that will center perspectives and frames that have been erased by media and academia.Whether you’re a journalist, organizer, artist, educator, or simply a curious soul hungry for deeper political clarity and community, RSS is a place to sharpen your analytical tools, and expand your personal network with like-minded people.

A Luta Continua – the struggle continues, but victory is certain. We will create better futures– together.

In solidarity,
Karen
