This week I chatted with Alana Carmickle and Heaven Williams. Alana and Heaven, along with Sophia Hysaw and Meredith Kauffman, created EquiTeens in Kenosha, Wisconsin this past summer as sophomores in high school. EquiTeens was formed to mobilize teens in Kenosha after George Floyd was killed in May. Their group organized further after Jacob Blake was shot seven times in their city three months later. Tune in to this episode of Gen BIPOC to hear Alana and Heaven talk about EquiTeens, Kenosha, and teen activism.
