The System Is Not Broken.
It Was Built This Way.
Dr. Bay Jones, PhD is an author, researcher, and educational systems thinker whose work challenges the narratives that blame students, families, and communities for disparities that are, in fact, produced by institutional design.
Through BEE — Beyond Equity in Education©, Dr. Jones offers a framework, research, and resources that help educators, leaders, and communities move beyond surface-level equity conversations and toward structural transformation.
We Are NOT The Problem — her book written with New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Robin DiAngelo — is the foundation of this work.
