As Human Trafficking Awareness Month comes to an end, it's SUPER important to recognize the strength shown by victims/survivors. The TRUTH exhibit shares powerful photos & stories from their human trafficking and sexual assault experiences. #Survivor sites.google.com/view/rjecunlea…

These activists are pushing for more diverse, anti-racist school curricula. “For far too long, school curricula have often erased, ignored, sanitized, or deliberately rewritten the narratives of people of color.” #DiversifyOurNarrative mashable.com/article/anti-r…

We had such a great group today. ❤️ We got to hear a beautiful story about growth through nurture, patience and love. And a special thank you to Alison for leading the ladies in a creative movement exercise.

The paradigm shift is as profound as the rationale is persuasive. After all, humans learn new things best not by doing but WHILE doing -- and learning lasts when the work matters to others. Read @DorisKorda's post for more! Thanks @kordainstitute! redesigningschool.org/its-not-what-w…
