"A greater national focus on the criticality of educational equity is needed in order to mobilize the masses and invite everyone to be a part of the solution.

That encounter has moments of distance, but it would not be an encounter without moments of intimacy as well. Knowing of any sort is relational, animated by a desire to come into deeper community with what we know.”

However, if we add up the problems that affect the biggest numbers of women, then issues having to do with physical safety and reproduction are still the biggest.
