I believe that it’s important to share tales that inspire us. In these times especially, it means something to honor the stories of people and collectives that model courage, humanity, and bravery. We must uplift the movements, moments, and spaces — big or small — that help shift paradigms. Our work at A.M. Consulting includes supporting organizations to become the best versions of themselves. Today I’d like to share the story of an organization that embraced change in a way that inspired me, and created positive ripple effects throughout their community. I’d like to share with you the bravery of Teens Take Charge (TTC).  TTC is a student-led, intergenerational organization fighting for educational equity in NYC. A collective that since their inception has “provided a platform for New York City high school students to share their experiences in the school system on stages across the city, at official hearings, in meetings with policymakers, on television broadcasts, and in the pages of major news outlets”, where “members study present-day educational inequity, its historical roots, develop policy proposals to address specific problems, and lead advocacy campaigns targeting the city and school officials with the ability to enact their solutions.”  Teens Take Charge
