We must recognize our toxic culture and begin to create the changes necessary to heal! I always reference the great @DrGaborMate when addressing the issues our youth are facing in our society.

1000 Brown Enough books for LA high schools. Bringing culturally relevant books to the youth. Just the beginning! @GrowMentoring @AdamSteel1
Join in ensuring all youth know they are enough! Every month needs to be #mentalhealthmonth as our young people continue to lack the support and resources they need to thrive in our society. Learn more about our literacy campaign w @chris__rivas lnkd.in/gYn7B2b2
I've had the honor of connecting members from @MPTF to the next generation of youth filmmakers coming out of South Los Angeles. We must ensure we keep our community connected and sharing their invaluable wisdom!

Despite a pandemic highlighting the inequities in our #education system, little has been done to provide our youth the resources and support they deserve. Join our #literacy and #mentoring campaign in partnership with @chris__rivas to support LA Students! gofund.me/13b73ca7
Knowing our system continues to provide minimal funding for education, relevant books, and curriculum, @chris__rivas and I have decided to bring them ourselves. Join our campaign and donate! gofund.me/13b73ca7

As protests against injustice continue at home and abroad, @danielwaynelee0 reminds us of the US government's history of trying to sabotage social progress.
#protest #activism #history #civilrights
20,000 youth and families enrolled in #LosAngeles schools have been #homeless each year for the past decade. The idea of providing holistic, wrap around support for students is a clear and necessary need. Listen to the full interview with @danielwaynelee0 in bio.
Yo CA Youth!!! Join @create_ca and use your artistic expression and advocacy to ensure our schools have arts education!
We at Create CA believe that students’ voices are the center of the movement. That’s why we created the Youth Advisory Council - a opportunity to put California’s youth first! The deadline is next Monday, the 13th. Hit the link below to apply!
