One-Two-One

One person who shaped Rhonda’s understanding

  • Her grandmother
  • The former director of United Nations Women: Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka

Two insights from the work for educators

  • Equity is a systematic solution
  • There is a true power in asking good questions and centering joy every day.

  • What if every young person got to name what they needed, had access to those resources and were able to chart their own course with safety, support and love?
