    Columbus/ Indigenous Day: A Day of Celebration or Reflection? 🌍✨ Today, we honor the legacy of both Christopher Columbus and the cultural heritage of Italian Americans 🇮🇹— but there’s more to the story. Columbus’ 1492 voyage also had lasting effects on Indigenous peoples, sparking conversation and change. In places like Berkeley and Santa Cruz, Columbus Day has been replaced by Indigenous Peoples Day to acknowledge the resilience of Native communities. 🌿 So how can we reflect on this day in a meaningful way? 💡 3 Ways to Rethink Columbus Day: - Celebrate the contributions of Italian Americans in U.S. history. - Honor the strength and survival of Indigenous communities. ✊🏽 - Learn about how different places observe this holiday, like Día de la Raza in Latin America or Native American Day in South Dakota. Let’s use today to reflect, learn, and appreciate the diverse perspectives that shape our history. ✨ What does Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples Day mean to you? Let’s discuss in the comments! #ColumbusDay #IndigenousPeoplesDay #ReflectAndHonor

    Our Founder and CEO, Dr. Nyeisha DeWitt, will be speaking at the #STEM4All Symposium this week! She’ll be addressing the connection between chronic absenteeism and access to STEM opportunities for all students. Don’t miss her insights on how we can close the gap and create equitable pathways in education. ⬇️⬇️

    Excited to be speaking at the upcoming #STEM4All Symposium, organized by STEM4Real, on October 17-18! I’ll be addressing “ #ChronicAbsenteeism : Can #STEM Fill the Empty Seats?” where I'll explore how STEM education can play a pivotal role in combating chronic absenteeism. At Oakland Natives Give Back (ONGB), we’re looking at innovative solutions, including AI-powered platforms and data-driven approaches, to address absenteeism while ensuring equitable access to education, particularly for young women of color. By harnessing technology, community engagement, and mentorship, we aim to create pathways for success in STEM fields and beyond. Let’s continue to push boundaries and create opportunities for all students! #STEM4ALL #GirlsInSTEM #AIForGood #EveryStudentMatters #InnovationInEducation #FightChronicAbsenteeism
