Whether it be through creative writing, political advocacy, or changing K-12 curriculum to incorporate Black history, she is committed to creating a more equitable society. With her creative writing, it’s important for her to highlight the diversity of the Black experience, something often omitted in the media representation of Blackness. ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ “Knowledge did not start with you, and it cannot end with you. Always be willing to learn, teach others, and move forward. You can’t change the past, but you can absolutely determine the future.”⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Check out our stories to get to know @ifewt, learn more about her commitment to progress, and see how she is partnering with Converse on this journey. #ConverseAllStars」9月20日 23時24分
