Abstract	In this article, we report an illustrative case to focus narrowly on trauma informed literacy instruction during youth testimony, asking: What instructional practices support testimony as a trauma informed literacy practice? The work is theoretically and conceptually framed by trauma-informed pedagogies to contend with racialized trauma. The illustrative case study of Bobby, a Vietnamese student struggling to make sense of his families' realities in light of Black Lives Matter protests, represents the complexities of the larger study and its findings. Data collection included interviews with youth participants and video recordings of virtual sessions. Three level coding identified ten themes related to the research question which were translated into three findings: (1) youth move towards personal testimony as part of relationship building, (2) youth draw from racialized trauma as a resource in their testimonies, and (3) adult responses to testimonies of racialized trauma can reinforce oppression. These findings critique the media outlets, educational systems, and macrostructures within society that create racialized trauma and sustain oppression for youth like Bobby, turning towards implications and recommendations to disrupt these systems and foster healing for youth contending with racialized trauma.
