In an interview with Brian Rajan Nagendra, Jill shared her story as a former café owner and explained how TMF provides critical support to small businesses. She underscored the importance of flexible capital and other resources for these Main Street shops — the heart and soul of Philadelphia communities. Thanks for visiting, Jill!

    This Indigenous Peoples' Day, our ember partner Pennsylvania Educator Diversity Consortium encourages educators to explore lesson plans that can help provide a more accurate, inclusive understanding of Native American histories and cultures. With the current educational materials coming short, it's imperative to improve curricula and change the narrative. PEDC also actively works to increase the number of teachers of color, including those who identify as Indigenous, throughout Pennsylvania. 

    On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the importance of accurately representing Native American history and culture in our education systems. According to the Reclaiming Native Truth (RNT) Project by IllumiNative Org, nearly half of Americans feel their education about Native Americans was inaccurate. Additionally, 72% believe significant changes are needed in school curricula to better reflect Native American history and culture. Parents and teachers agree that current educational materials are often misleading. Many educators rank Native American history as one of the least covered and least accurate subjects. It's disheartening that parents feel they must teach their children the "real history" of their people at home due to inadequacies in school teachings. To help change this narrative, we encourage educators to explore lesson plans on IllumiNative's website: https://lnkd.in/g_Pcx5Hy. These resources support educators in providing a more accurate, inclusive understanding of Native American histories and cultures. Let’s educate ourselves and advocate for meaningful changes in our curricula, ensuring that Indigenous voices are heard and celebrated in our schools. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #ReclaimingNativeTruth #EducationEquity #ChangeTheNarrative #IllumiNative #PEDC #DiversityAndInclusion
