We are in dramatic times, according to Dr. Christina Kishimoto, Founder and CEO of Voice4Equity, LLC and Clinical Professor at the University of Southern California. In the past decade, public school classrooms transformed from having a majority of white students to mostly students of color. We have a diverse student body full of aspiring young minds who include LGBTQ, multiracial, multicultural, and multilingual identities. No other time in U.S. history has this been more evident.
