She sheds light on a different view of intersectionality. Some questions that surface are: Should we rethink IEP? and How do public school administrators and teachers view students in that program? What should be the vetting process for these administrators? Is it a behavioral issue or hunger?
We talk about how she struggles as a high school and college student with “the triple threat” (woman, disable and black) with a unique worldview as an American raised in Germany. She was able to witness and blow the whistle the brokenness in the educational, federal and state level government propelled her to pursue a career in DEI.
