Ending White-Washed Curriculum: It's a Marathon, Not a Sprint with Adaeze Okorie and Grace Landry
Description
In this episode, host Craig Andrade chats with the co-founders of New Hampshire for Antiracist Education (NHARE), Adaeze Okorie, and Grace Landry. In addition to being social activists and advocates for racial justice, Adaeze is an MPH student at Boston University School of Public Health, and Grace is finishing her undergraduate degree at Drexel University where she studies product design and public health.
Through their work with NHARE, they advocate for ending white-washed curriculum, implementing training opportunities that prepare educators to teach about systemic racism, and listening to and uplifting student voices calling for change in their local districts. As Adaeze and Grace continue to navigate their work with NHARE two years after the organization's founding, one thing remains clear, "the true nature of this work is that it's a marathon, not a sprint."
The transcript of this conversation is available on the Activist Lab website.
