Lily Gardner |
TEDxCorbin
• March 2019
Lily Gardner embodies a unique plethora of identities, rooted in her Appalachian roots, Jewish heritage, and urban exposures she’s had in life. Grounded in her experiences doing student advocacy work, Lily makes the case for a new view of students as thought leaders and shapers of their own future, especially in rural Eastern Kentucky, where economic and educational outcomes are intimately related.
