Recognition, Acceptance, and Empowerment of the uniqueness of those entering the field of education is key. Allowing students to celebrate their heritage, culture, and race allows a confidence that inspires role modeling for others.
Local and outside agencies, companies, and organizations can attribute to this concept by providing speakers, internships, and opportunities for students to partner with them on projects that reflect their own cultural priorities and that allow them to experience cultures and people in contrast to themselves and their backgrounds.
I am honored to serve on the panel and look forward to the discussion!
