My vision for Washtenaw County has a specific focus on K-12 students. Working in a school district with resources and mostly white students, but living in a school district with few resources and mostly Black students, I see first hand the inequities in education. Although the students have different access to resources they all need to feel valued and affirmed, especially those who are marginalized. Teaching educators to develop and practice cultural competencies serves all our students which in turn will improve their achievements. I welcome the opportunity to continue to discuss and train anyone in the community especially teachers, who wish to expand their cultural knowledge in order to better serve our marginalized communities.
