In part 2 of this episode, Amanda and Jeremiah explain resources the Youth Advisory Board are currently working on to make language more inclusive and some youth-friendly initiatives from partner organizations. The group dives into how they have learned to be inclusive and tips for interacting with people from all backgrounds in our daily lives.
