What She Learned From Her Grandmother About Racism and How She is Using Data for Social Change
|
"I recognize how relevant my grandmother’s story is today. After the killing of George Floyd, I suddenly felt that we are in a similar place as when she lived in the south. And I did a lot of introspection. I wondered, how can I make an impact? I’m not an activist, but I am skilled in using data. And data can drive change."
