E23: Building Equity in Education with Dr. Leena Bakshi

Often we start our businesses to solve a problem we’re experiencing ourselves. My guest on the show today, Dr. Leena Bakshi, is no different. After seeing the limited access that underrepresented students have to math and science and the inequitable systems within education, Leena decided to start STEM 4 Real, a nonprofit professional learning organization committed to combining STEM content learning and leadership with principles of social justice. You’ll definitely share this episode with the teachers and the administrators in your life. Lena and I started working together about five months ago, and we've had the pleasure of working to align all of their business technology to support their business goals. In this episode, Leena shares reflections on her entrepreneurial path and how getting started, even when you don't know all the steps to reach your goal, helped propel her business forward. She also talks about the dangers of ‘either or thinking,’ and offers three actionable steps for teachers to build more equity into their teaching that we can all learn from.
