In the new feature film "Defining US" AAUW alumna @RuizSealey shares her thoughts on the significance of open race dialogue in America's classrooms. The film coincides with Dr. Sealey's work centered around the positive impact of a culturally responsive education. @Columbia

@RuizSealey absolutely delivered in the "Defining US" feature film! EVERYTHING she says is so on point. Watch to see one of her intuitive thoughts on talking about race! #definingus #powerofmedia #educationforall
