Vice President of Equity and Innovation at the Institute for Child Success (ICS), Mary C. Garvey, joins us for an important conversation discussing the adultification of black girls. Mary is a native New Yorker who is passionate about building equitable systems and fostering social justice through policy. At ICS, an early childhood research and applied policy organization, Mary leads the organization’s impact investing portfolio and advises on strategies that are in line with the principles of equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. Mary has led more than a dozen presentations and trainings on the implicit bias inherent in preschool suspension and expulsion, the danger in the adultification of Black girls, and other barriers to achieving equity in early childhood and beyond. The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), the South Carolina Summit on Early Childhood, and Clemson University are among those who have invited her to speak. Prior to ICS, Mary worked for National Hemophilia Foundation and PeerForward (formerly College Summit). She has also consulted on projects focused on housing policy, day care compliance, and breakfast in the classroom. Tune in on Wednesday, February 16 @ 6pm EST!
