I would love for Jamiylah t speak at my school!

02:25:57
The students I work with could benefit from hearing from you!

02:26:28
It’s also important we talk to the communities/populations we are aiming to serve to find out what they truly want/need as opposed to thinking our outside perspectives are the “fix”. Jamiylah, you are proof of why that is so so important!

02:27:16
DU should redistribute wealth and fund a degree for Jamiylah!
