The Equality Now Project aims to amplify and uplift diverse voices. In the spirit of achieving this, we’ve conducted four student interviews with authors from this project.
In this interview, we were given the chance to speak with Ebony Hardnett, author of the piece “Utopia,” and she expressed her desire for change within her community.
Author Ebony Hardnett
How did you feel returning to school? What challenges have you faced in getting your GED/HSED?
At first, I struggled with it. I was going back to school at 36, a full-time single parent, so I struggled at first. But then I just figured I had to complete it because I have children that are looking up to me, and I have to be about it. And it’s not so much just saying you have to finish school; I have to show them that I could do it too.
