In celebration of Juneteenth I worked with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Emmanuel Carter (Host of Noggin Knows), and Dr. Beverly Tatum (best-selling author and expert on the psychology of racism), to create a digital user-generated campaign that called for Nick Jr. and Noggin fans to submit videos of their kids dancing to the Why We Dance song. I then collaborated with Dr. Tatum to create a script that would help teach kids of all ages, the meaning of Juneteenth.
