Money Is Not The Problem With Our Schools

1 min read

Quality education can be a great equalizer and a platform for success in life, but our current public school system may be the most regressive and unequal institution in our society.

Today’s guest, Denisha Allen, founded an organization that's tackling this issue head on. It’s called Black Minds Matter and it’s a non-profit dedicated to promoting access to high-quality school options for black students. She’s also a Senior Fellow at the American Federation for Children, and previously served as School Choice and Youth Liaison at the U.S. Department of Education.

Denisha is a powerful voice for change because she knows the failures of our education system firsthand. Her path from at-risk student to education policy wonk is full of wisdom for parents. After all, we want our kids to succeed regardless of their circumstances, and Denisha has done exactly that.
