5: Renee Omolade, We Are The Ones The Courage to Listen

Growing up in Boston, Renee is co-founder of We Are The Ones Boston. In this conversation, she shares her first hand experiences about education, social justice and activism. She offers a very compelling argument for everyone to vote "even if you just vote for yourself." She breaks down the charter school initiative on the ballot in MA and talks about the 3 pillars of her group's mission:

  1. Youth Engagement
  2. Blackenomics
  3. Community Beautification

Renee also discusses what other millennials can do to make a difference and why Black Lives Matter has been so effective (and misunderstood).
