In collaboration with educators working in youth-serving non-profits in Chicago and across the US, Nate explores and builds tools and resources with and for young people that recognize and cultivate family and cultural knowledges to enlarge and support opportunities to learn and to counter negative and racist narratives about communities, families, and youth of color.
