Our guests include Ebony Nyoni, founder of Black Lives Matter Vermont; Education Secretary Rebecca Holcombe; Executive Director Curtiss Reed of the Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity; and Lena Tenney, a cultural competence trainer with the Kirwan Institute, which has worked with Vermont educators and administrators.
