“The legacies of oppression, migration, and liberation within my family’s history combined with an unshakable hope for a better, more just future are truths that compel me to do racial equity and social justice work. I want to play an active role in creating a better future for all that is rooted in a shared commitment to dismantle white supremacy through love–radical love. Education is one key to actualizing liberation for oppressed communities of color but without recognizing the omnipresence of white supremacy — and thus racial inequity and social injustice — education is just another building block of the status quo.”

Lauren Bryant is a Director at the National Charter Collaborative.
