In this compelling conversation, we sit down with a powerhouse leader and founder of RISE Indy, Jasmin Shaheed-Young, to explore the intersections of motherhood, equity, and bold education reform. 

We unpack what real school choice means for families of color, why “excellence” shouldn’t be exclusive, and how women of color are uniquely positioned to build student-centered coalitions that disrupt the status quo. You’ll also hear how RISE Indy is pushing the boundaries to center students, build scalable solutions, and reframe equity as foundational—not optional—in the design of public education systems.
