Please note the Code of Conduct for this discussion:
We ask that you please:
1. be respectful of all users at all times. This means please use etiquette and politeness. Treat people with kindness and gentleness. If you do this the rest of the Code of Conduct won't need more than a cursory mention.
2. respect the forum staff. We provide a service in our free time to keep the forums running efficiently. We will occasionally ask for your input about your posting, but in most cases we will not; please respect our decisions. Also, we may edit for content, so if you have an issue with our moderation, please contact an administrator or moderator by private message.
3. refrain from using the board to send abusive or harassing private messages or emails.
4. remember that these forums are read by people of all ages so we strive to maintain postings appropriate to everyone.
5. report to a moderator or administrator privately if you have found a post that you feel is inappropriate or that violates the forum Code of Conduct. While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message, so we appreciate your assistance. Please do not start a debate in the open forum by responding to the post.
We further ask you to:
1. understand that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not those of the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people).
2. agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening material or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Any of these actions may result in your being temporarily or permanently banned from these forums, and your service provider may also be informed.
3. understand that the webmaster, administrators and moderators of this forum have the right to send a private message with a warning, and/or may censor any forum user who is in violation of forum policy.
4. acknowledge that, if you continue to violate this Code of Conduct, your account will be reviewed and you could be banned.
5. understand that the forum resolution team (currently the administrators) has the sole discretion to ban violators of this Code of Conduct.
Examples of inappropriate actions that may result in banning:
Flaming and condescending messages: Flames are messages that personally attack, call people names, or otherwise harass another forum member (or any person). These, along with any generally condescending posts, will be removed at the moderators’ discretion. This is a banning offense.
If the thread is flame-bait (appears to be intended to start an argument or is likely to cause an argument rather than enhance discussion), it will be locked or removed without notice. A post including flame-bait may be deleted or edited at the moderators' discretion. Users who continue to post in this manner or engage in other questionable practices like trolling (posting in an attempt to engage people in arguments), will be banned.

If you could share a message with policy makers on implementing policy or processes that assist in removing racial barriers, what would it be?
There are plenty of tangible changes we want policy makers to implement. Changes that enforce accountability, reallocate resources to support society and honest sustainability. These are the most important points
, vital for our survival. It's what truly matters if we are to exist in the centuries to come.
Modern policymaking is about supporting economic activity. Stimulating, allocating, investing: America capitalism and policymaking are an "entanglement" ; knotted into a rocky co-dependent relationship, that's just starting to therapize the abuses & dysfunctions that created today's "situation" .
Policymaking, as we know it today, seems too distracted by its traumatic relationship with American capitalism. The relationship impairs the policymaking process. The contentious nature of contemporary policy making is evidence of impaired efficiency. Equity and capitalism don't make good bedfellowsn but could they? What systematic changes can be made so that the building of racial and inclusive equity, economic structures and practice of policymaking align to truly serve society?
Officially, my message to policy makers is to earnestly investigate this question. I think, only then we can move forward, overcoming racial , sexist , ableist , xenophobic , homophobic barriers.

1. If you could share a critical message with community about the importance of STEAM, what message would you share?
*With so many harsh realities constantly burdening the psyche, it is important to recognize the S.T.E.A.M within you. Sometimes it can be hard to recognize or name our skills and abilities. Science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics is a part of our DNA. Think if you have ever soothed an upset baby, calmed an irate person, planted food or made food taste good, used different means to communicate or navigate, made something out of nothing, used a form of art to share your emotional and/or mental power, even the ability to stretch limited resources to make ends meet. We must recognize our natural abilities and stand strong in our purpose.
2. If you could share a message with policy makers on implementing policy or processes that assist in removing racial barriers, what would it be?
*If I could share a message with policy makers on implementing policy or processes that assist in removing racial barriers it would be:
Parents - ground yourself and our your children in their value so no one else has the ability to disregard it or limit it.
Policy Makers - Allow continuous space for community to share challenges and suggestions, then take action by addressing policies that aren't working and implement policies and processes that continue to support the removal of barriers.
3. How does Black History affect our Future?
*Black History affects our future because without looking at our past there is no way to take action to ensure a better future. The trauma that is endured today is due to the trauma that was supported and allowed yesterday. History gives us strength to continue to push forward and validation that we are not the cause of our unjust traumatic experiences.
4. How do you want to make the world a better place, as you grow?
*I want to make the world a better place as I grow by always living in my truth. Being the best I can be for myself so that I can always show up being the best for others.
What is your life's blueprint? -Question and Statement by Dr. Martin Luther King ( reference the video below )

A question for the panelists: Considering the ubiquitous intersectionality of the blending of cultures here in the USA (the melting pot)..,
1) Why is the nation's hegemonic ideology (white men) and media always portraying political strife and civil unrest as detrimental to our nation and its people, when we all intuitively know that to live is to struggle, and, as good 'ol FDoug once said, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." ?
2) In the context of S.T.E.A.M , is it plausible to teach the youth and each other that times like 2020 are simply growing pains - and actually indicative of growth and development?
