They told me that if I was going to change my life for the better, education was the answer. So I worked hard in school, I got into Hamlin University and earned a college degree, first in my family. Then I went on to earn a master\u2019s in education from St. Mary\u2019s University of Minnesota. I am living proof that no matter your start life, quality education is a pathway to success. I want the same success for our children in our communities. That\u2019s why in 2015, I was a founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul.

The moratorium on charter schools does not support rebuilding the black family. But it does create barriers to a better education for black children.
