I thought this was a powerful personal story of what life looked and felt like for Smarsh as a child. What I was hoping for was a more explicit connecting of the dots about what we should be doing differently as a society to adress the class inequality she experienced. Some of it is pretty easy to intuit - school was her way forward, so fully funding public education would probably be a good idea in her mind. What are the other fixes that she wishes were in place?
