QUOTABLES:

“It's hard to be what you can't see. And so I think that really sums up the fact that we've given a bird's eye view for individuals that didn't know that these programs existed and given information in such a way that you don't have to reinvent the wheel if you are trying to create these programs.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
