Where’s the critical love? A pilot STOREY (STOrying Racism to Empower Youth) intervention for critical racial literacy development and dismantling anti-Blackness among Asian American emerging adults.

= 2.45]) to map the empirical change agents and processes underlying the potential critical racial literacy development that occurs through the STOREY sessions. Results provided empirical evidence of the six critical racial literacy development components (interruption, archaeology of the self, historical literacy, critical reflection, critical humility, critical love) at play in and through their engagement with this intervention. Each component serves as an important ingredient that can foster greater interest and orientation toward (and by also removing barriers that discourage individuals) enacting antiracism advocacy and cross-racial solidarity. Our findings provide implications for refined intervention development and employment at multiple levels (e.g., individual, school, community, institutional).
