Turning 100 is a good thing. But it’s not the number that matters so much. It’s that a major milestone like this invites us to reflect on how far we’ve come, and where we need to go. childrensmn.org/2024/01/29/1…

We don’t lump history and heritage months together into just one month. So why do we lump together people of different identities under just one term? Shorthand can shortchange. That’s why I avoid the term “BIPOC." childrensmn.org/2024/01/25/d…

Despite what you may think, I’m not BIPOC

Shorthand can shortchange. That’s why I avoid the term “BIPOC.”
