States looking to make student centered policies in education should look at Indiana.

Indiana state support allows places like @CSC_EH and @PurduePolyHS and their leaders to thrive.

Margarita Florez Vasconcelos & Dayna Cobarrubias highlight how the lack of Latin X representation in media content is harmful and impacts coalition building even though they consume media at staggering rates.

Reminds me of the power of storytelling and how it’s being told.
