Show Notes

Carrie and Joy are first-generation Liberia-American and Ghana-American students from Lea Hill, Auburn. Along with other students from Auburn Mountainview, they created the Black Youth Leadership Coalition as a direct result of marches across the United States to end violence and systematic racism against Black communities. Their advocacy brings a local perspective to these issues and centers around giving young people the space to speak out. In this episode, we will learn more about these amazing youth organizer's experiences on being Black students at the Auburn School District.
