"Fix the Damn Schools" is the name of my OpEd with my visionary friend Imani Foster. Do this and fund it like you mean it ~ and economic growth, retaining young talent, a prosperous Michigan naturally follows. @skillmanfound @miedjustice crainsdetroit.com/crains-forum-p…
Powerful article by @angelique1971 & Imani Foster with @482Forward. It's time to #fixthedamschools @skillmanfound crainsdetroit.com/crains-forum-p…
A solution for Michigan population growth? "The single best way to attract and keep people in Michigan is to fix the damn schools," write @skillmanfound's @angelique1971 and @482Forward's Imani Foster in this month's #CrainsForum. crainsdetroit.com/crains-forum-p…
Your kid isn't Katniss Everdeen, so why is she being subjected to the "Hunger Games model" of education? Check out this excellent op-ed by @fundmifuture coalition member Imani Foster and @angelique1971. It's simple: Fix (and fully fund) the damn schools! 👇
"The education equivalent to filling potholes on crumbling highways is what we’re doing now–increasing millages in suburban districts while blaming students, parents, & teachers for the results of systemic decline." OpEd by @angelique1971 and Imani Foster bit.ly/46AY5YV

Panelists are speaking on the consequences of media consumers getting “younger and younger” at #NAMLE23’s opening keynote, Youth Rising: Detroit Youth on Transforming Media Through Content Creation. #MediaLiteracy #DigitalLiteracy
This👇: student in 1st video "We're trying to incorporate literacy back in schools...incorporate a library...to bring back literacy because it has been taken from us." All students deserve equity of access to school libraries. #MISchoolLibrary #michiganliteracy @mieducation
We sat down with a dozen #Detroit high schoolers to envision what #publiceducation that centers students’ needs and prepares them for future success would look and feel like. Then we talked about their #power to make ideals real. Hear what they had to say: bit.ly/3Y3OOVS
Looking back as I prep for @wdet #DetroitToday on Ann Arbor’s guaranteed income program. My parents worked 2-3 jobs while I was on WIC. They were dishwashers, janitors, and line workers while helping others. Investing in the working poor is an investment in our collective future.
We approved UBI funding. I’m thinking of my refugee parents & how extra cash would have made the difference between a safe and unsafe apartment, a car repair, or ER visit for my asthmatic sister. I’ll never forget the stress of poverty. We should want relief for all.#a2council
