Episode 32: It Takes A Village

In this episode, we’re excited to introduce The Black Students/Families Network, a new initiative aimed at addressing the unique challenges African American students face in their educational journeys. Data from Kenosha County reveals that African American students experience poorer outcomes compared to other racial and ethnic groups in our community. These trends mirror national patterns affecting Black students across the country.

Our network seeks to understand these challenges in-depth and work towards overcoming the barriers faced by Black students and families, with the goal of fostering success and achieving better educational outcomes.

• Tamarra Coleman, Executive Director of the Shalom Center of Interfaith Network of Kenosha County, Inc.
• Yolanda Jackson-Lewis, Coordinator of Diversity/Student & Family Engagement at Kenosha Unified School District
