Jimmieka Mills, Co-Founder of Equitable Spaces, joined the #EquityChat discussion on October 5, 2022. She shared her walk-up song, "I Ain't Stressin' Today" by Dear Silas, and discussed her work with Equitable Spaces, which aims to create opportunities for community members with lived experiences of poverty to inform policy decisions. Mills highlighted the importance of including community expertise in research, program design, and evaluation. She also emphasized the need to address "Big E" equity issues, such as unclear rules around income treatment for programs like SNAP, and "Small E" equity issues, like leading with humanity and acknowledging that data represents people. Mills recommended that educators support students' basic needs by including resource information in syllabi and streamlining support services. She advised equity practitioners to be intentional, patient, and trusting of community members' expertise. Mills expressed hope for the future, citing the attendance of individuals with lived experiences of poverty at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.
