"Sometimes we have to tokenize ourselves for the sake of pushing the movement forward."
Inspiring. Enthusiastic. Partnerships. Youth Leadership. Social Justice. Creating a Positive Future. Those are a few words I’d use to describe the mood, energy and intention of the 3rd Safe Routes to School National Conference in Minneapolis.
As the more than 600 participants entered the Minneapolis Convention Center on August 17, the second day of the conference, the room was buzzing with people talking about workshops and connections they made the day before.

…a good thing to be writing about on Valentine’s Day. I guess you could say I am the Safe Routes Partnership’s resident matchmaker. While I can boast of several marriage outcomes from my partnership recommendations over the years, my role here at the Safe Routes Partnership has yet to involve dating suggestions.
