038 How Awareness and Compassion Can Create Change with Kristin Henning DEI-LABB with Rorri Geller-Mohamed

In this episode, I talk with Kris about her wealth of experience as a lawyer advocating for kids and systemic change in the juvenile justice system.  She breaks down the racial inequities that exist and talks about what all of us can to do create change.  She shares what inspired her to write her book The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth, how we can be more cognizant of our own biases, and the inspiration that comes from youth activism.
