Slam dunk keynote from @LoriPattonDavis Particularly this, "white colleagues, be woke when there is a risk involved, not just when it feels comfortable." @aacu Conference on Diversity, Equity, and Student Success #AACUDESS

"Parents, you don't always need to fill space ... it's high time to get uncomfortable & have these conversations."
