AHMED H. AHMED
I fight for educational equity because inequity in this country did not happen on accident and the fight for justice and equity must be equally as intentional as the systems that perpetuate the inverse. We have an obligation and responsibility to dismantle the systems in this country that predetermine who gets a life of freedom and who does not.
