How do we ensure that the student activism witnessed during the pandemic and after the demise of George Floyd not only continues but also makes an impact around the world? Ilyasah Shabazz, the third daughter of the late Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, believes you can look back at the historical legacy of her mother and father to find inspirational solutions. In her keynote presentation, Shabazz –an award-winning author, educator and producer – will share powerful stories of what she learned from her iconic activist parents and how you, too, can make the diverse world more equitable and inclusive for all. These are stories about courage, compassion, purpose and leadership – about how you can turn a movement into a reality for both today and generations to come. Shabazz will provide insight into the power of positivity and share her experiences growing up surrounded by love, determination and the legacy of her father. She will inspire teachers, parents, students and communities to be the best they can be, so they can give their best to others and to society. Follow on social media! Facebook + Instagram

Santa Ana wind conditions and unseasonably warm temperatures in April in San Diego are an unusual combination. Plus, during the pandemic shut down air quality improved across California – especially in communities where Asian and Latino Californians live. That means the opposite was true when the state opened back up. A new UCSD study suggests systemic racism could be behind the inequity. Also, scientists say climate change has created a cycle of drought that is increasingly hard to reverse and old policy models used to manage water in the West do not reflect those changes. And, new developments on the deadly shooting in Sacramento over weekend. Police now say there were five people directly involved in the shooting. Meanwhile, communities across California are having conversations about how to respond to the impacts of rising sea levels as a result of climate change. Finally, a local consignment shop has been given the distinction of best vintage store in the country by the online review site, Yelp.
