It was an honor to partner with champions at LAUSD as they embark on combating mental health by nurturing radical joy and healing in their staff and students. This wasn’t a one off keynote but a kick off towards creating the conditions for thriving!

Love this article about Afrofuturism connecting storytelling and healing: “Black artists can tell stories of their limited past, intertwined their complex present to see a different future.” yesmagazine.org/social-justi…

How Black Women Are Reshaping Afrofuturism

The science fiction subgenre known for its utopian and liberation themes has become a vehicle for Black women artists.

Proud of my sister Kara Bobroff and the work she is doing with One Gen to bring more computer science opportunities to indigenous youth. Had to share this good news! #indigitize #theallianceforthe7thgeneratiin, #onegen aboutamazon.com/news/communi…

Indigenous youth face significant barriers to accessing computer science—here’s how Amazon is...

Native American students are among the most underrepresented in computer science. Amazon Future Engineer is committing $2.25 million to engage 10,000 Indigenous students in computer science by 2025.

National averages show that at least 80% of psychologists are white and they often lead school’s functional behavior analyses of children of color who go on to be pathologized in these settings. #schoolpsychology #culturallyresponsive #antiracism

State of TN average psychologist to student ratio 2019-2020 —> 1:6942 2021-2022 —> 1:448 I don't really know if this is something to be proud of or not bc it still doesn't seem like enough #UrbanEdTalks
