Bio

Minhal Nazeer the co-lead of KSVT's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Research and Policy team and a KSVT Board Member. She first became involved with the Kentucky Student Voice Team as an analyst for the statewide Race to Learn Research Study which elicited over 10,000 responses from Kentucky middle and high school students sharing their experiences and perspectives about how race and ethnicity impact their sense of belonging in school and has since participated in a number of professional development presentations and helped train and support the inaugural Education Journalism Fellowship Cohort.

When she’s off the clock, she enjoys spending time with her friends and catching up on the latest Marvel Disney+ TV Shows with her family. She hopes to impact other young students of color by providing the space and opportunity to hear their own voices reflected in the world around them.

An Intimate Conversation with Jefferson County's School Board Candidates

Our schools' primary stakeholders may be too young to vote for those who represent us on our district school boards, but we're note too young to have a voice in the process. Our Youth-Led Virtual Town Hall was centered around ways to make Kentucky schools more equitable.
