b'With the intersection of systemic anti-Black racism, sexism, and other forces of oppression, Black girls are subjected to especially daunting educational barriers. Education law Center has developed a report on the state of Black girls and how we can be the source of empowerment. I speak to student Amaiyah who contributed to the report and Paige Joki, Staff Attorney at Education Law Center-PA and Lead of ELC\'s Black Girls Education Justice Initiative.
