Blog post #1


Hello everyone!
I am nearly done with my degree in Secondary Math Education from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. 

Not too long ago, I finished raising these amazing individuals.  I looked around and realized I wasn't really happy with the world that they were inheriting, so I decided to go out and change the world.

I am committed to changing the racial and socioeconomic injustices in the United States.  

Recently, I discovered an organization called Abolitionist Teaching Network.  They offer a number of resources for teachers to help them create an anti racist environment for the students to learn.

Hi Karen! Thank you for re-birthing your blog for us here in CURRINS 545. I like to also think of myself as a feminist and a novice farmer

Your passion for changing racial/socioeconomic injustices is a great one and you will have many opportunities if you teach at a school in MPS. There are a lot of challenges but it is very much worth it.

Hi Karen, what kind of farming are you involved in? Your spark for making this world a better place and having your children as your main motivators is truly inspirational!

Hello Karen,
I share your sentiments of breaking down racial, socio-economic, and educational divides that aid in the seperation and animosity amongst different racial groups.
