“Instead of praising people for being ‘resilient’, change the systems that are making them vulnerable.” Muna Abdi - Education and Racial Equity Researcher.

The real prosperity of a nation is not measured by the number of millionaires, but by the inclusiveness of its education system, the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the care it offers to its most vulnerable members, and the equality of opportunity it extends to all.
