Following the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and many other Black Americans, I and other alumni from my high school founded the group Diversify Our Syllabi. The goals of our organization were to spread awareness of the issues of police brutality and other crimes against Americans of color and to encourage our alma mater to adapt their curriculum to include education about these subjects.

As a part of this group, alongside co-leading our overall efforts to improve diversity in our curriculum, I designed and built a comprehensive website, describing our goals and action items, linking to our source materials and petitions, and including user-submitted testimonials.
