My national television debut on the Melissa Harris-Perry Show (photo credit: Cheryl Coward).

Yesterday, I was honored to be on the Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC. The show’s focus was on what makes a good education. Other guests who joined me throughout the four segments on education were:

• Natasha Adams, student at the City College of New York and youth leader in Girls for Gender Equity
• Derrell Bradford, executive director of Better Education for Kids in New Jersey
• Anthea Butler, professor of Religious Studies and Graduate Chair of Religion at the University of Pennsylvania
• Michael Gellman, graduate of Bronx Science High School and in 2013, an incoming freshman at Harvard
• Lila Leff, founder of the UMOJA Student Development Corporation

Watch the first segment in which I talk about my class on feminism and activism for high school students. Watch the second segment in which I talk about the need to create safe schools free of bullying and harassment.
