Kids who are racially isolated, they will find their community wherever it is because we want to see ourselves in each other's eyes.
And so I just started to create programs and places that I didn't have when I was a student.
Building those spaces has led to the best opportunities.
I've got youth who are now youth consultants and they go to speak at PTA conferences.
They are invited to speak in NPR and other radio specials, and they have built a world for themselves that I want to be a part of.
This couldn't have happened had we not had a space to build and see each other and do that identity work and empower each other and then launch from there.
