President & CEO“Shaping Reparations”, a Workshop on Public Policy
As a member of the Los Angeles Reparations Advisory Commission, I have advocated for aggressive public engagement and lifted the roles of education and community development in the intergenerational harms to which Black people have been systemically subjected. The topic “Shaping Reparations,” for me, means Black people empowering themselves to take ownership of the various Reparations platforms, individually and collectively make the case for reparations, define acceptable forms of restitution, and organize themselves to governments and institutions accountable.
My workshop will share empowerment tools and strategies designed to facilitate the empowerment of conference participants, educationally as parents and socio-economically as residents and heads of households. It will directly address ways that the current focus on equity, racial justice, and reparations can be leveraged to transform educational and community quality of life outcomes for Black parents and families.
