Young Women Empowered’s Victoria Santos approached our big question with a focus on social justice and racial equity. Her passionate insights included:

• The pandemic and recent protests provide the opportunity to reveal who we are to each other and who we can be to each other.
• That COVID-19 is having a disproportionate burden on people of color, indigenous people and the disenfranchised.
• That this isn’t just a crisis of today; that it has been accumulating for generations and we need to get to work to dismantle systems of oppression.
• That for real change to happen, people need to feel the pain; not just feel inconvenienced.
• A vision that we wake up and begin to figure out how to live in harmony with the planet, with other species, and with each other.
