Youth Aren’t Worthless

To recognize the value of youth today, we need to make new spaces, create new opportunities, and harness new learning for adults and young people to work together in equitable, honest partnerships that reflect the genuine, authentic needs throughout our world today.

I Believe in Youth

I am a firm believer in the power of youth. Since I facilitated my first youth workshop in 1997, I have been an advocate for youth empowerment, routinely showing young people, youth workers, educators, administrators, politicians and parents the power, purpose and possibilities of youth.

Solidarity with Black People

I am not exceptional to causing injustices towards people of color. It does not matter where I’ve lived, how I’ve lived, who I have lived with, or what I’ve done in my career or personally with Black people. Just like all white people, I have benefited directly and indirectly from the white privilege bestowed on me by racist systems of oppression that I have consciously and unconsciously upheld.
