Dr. Brown’s Motivation Rooted in her upbringing in Jersey City during the crack era. Believes in being part of the solution, not just complaining about systemic issues. Emphasizes building “efficacious spirits” and affirming unique skills in youth. Notable Quotes On Motivation:“I can’t complain about the position of Black and Brown people in society if I’m not going to do the work necessary to support its elevation.” On Stereotypes:“Deficit ideology assumes that if you are poor or minority, you do not have the capacity to be successful. We fight that every day.” On Community Support:“My community got me where I am today… I’m calling on the village to support what we’re trying to do.” On Youth Potential:“No matter where you come from, and no matter what you look like, you have the capacity to become great.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
