These educational dynamics mirror challenges in professionalpractice, where marginalized practitioners are burdened with navigating institutionalizedpractices rooted in colonial practices. Specifically, local practitioners and racial minorities reportthat structural racism is deeply embedded in the international development sector's culture andpractices, affecting how they perceive their communities and engage with international NGOs[3]. This dynamic is further compounded by a prevailing color-blind understanding of globalinequality that may
