Credentials: Ed-GRS Fellow
My hope and dream is to change the way we think about schools. To do this, I want to uplift youth voice as the tool and vehicle by which we bring about community change, empowering youth with the skills necessary to organize and do something. Through this work, the goal is to develop strategies, patterns, and pedagogy that can be incorporated into the classroom which works towards a liberation-based education versus conformity-based education. I want to engage students in story collection, story telling, and decolonizing our ideas of “stories” to better encompass our growing, diverse world and better reflect the worlds of our youth.
