Kyra Capezzone sharing her message with middle schoolers at Woodland Park.

 “Usually in [Black Student Union] meetings we talk about our experiences in life, school, and times we’ve faced discrimination. But it’s not always negative things like that, sometimes it’s just shared experiences that we’ve had, positive and negative. We also plan events, for Black history month we did a spoken word and we also have another one coming up this friday. [Sierra]  inspired me to join because she wanted to create an environment that Black students around the school would feel safe [and] feel welcomed in […] and to feel like there was a place they could go if they needed it. So after that I joined the moment I found out about it and I’ve just been a part of it ever since.”
