Quotes:
“A hate crime is usually the one of the least racist things we deal with in the present day.”
“We need our kids to see themselves in all shades, like all of it.“
“We feel as though just playing by the rules of this society that we'll be okay and it comes to a point as black folks in this country and in the world where you're reminded that you have to do more. There's whiteness everywhere you look. That becomes the mirror, and if we look in the other mirror and don't see that then we start changing things”
“We are so accepting of so little.”
“Your household should really look like a school. I 'm not saying chalkboard. I'm saying the images your kids see, I'm saying the time you devote to talking with them and conversing with them, because we talk about equitable practices, that starts at home,”
“I'm pro-black, so it's like, equity for me means we gotta make sure that we are building things moving forward that can help us all, gotta make sure we're all good.”
“One of the things I really dislike about our public education system is it is the antithesis of science-based. It defines logic.”
