Representation matters. Full stop.
Over the last year, we've seen new instances of representation of our BIPOC community in more 'typical' spaces like TV and movies, and in this episode of Focus on K-12, I talk to Felisa Ford from Atlanta Public Schools about her time working on representation in a pixelated world- the Good Trouble world in Minecraft EDU. Listen in as she shares her passion, her experience, and her deep connection to the work!
