While the @WK_Kellogg_Fdn launched the #RacialEquity2030 Challenge to celebrate our 90th Anniversary, the work we’re seeking to do in partnership with communities has always been personal. I was blessed to share why in a @usatodayopinion today:

Children can’t vote. But they are the ones that need protection. They are in our hands. We have to do what’s right for children. #OurSolidarity

Our hearts go out to the families who sent their loved ones to school today full of optimism about the promising future an education can offer, and who are now faced with the tragedy of mourning the senseless loss of their lives. https://t.co/oH2c5zyeSI

I’m grateful for Gov. Winter's guidance in the design of the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation efforts, and for his humble service that stretched across decades, across race and class, a leader who saw the value of our shared humanity.

I hope the whole world is cheering at this historic moment for a true step toward equity and fairness in our justice system. Another African American woman excels after giving 150% her entire life!

No more senseless killings! #RacialHealing #InSolidarity
The verdict doesn’t bring #GeorgeFloyd back, but moves us one step closer to a shared humanity and justice. We continue the work and healing, in solidarity.
