✊🏾 Asafonie Obed is a local mother and community organizer who is leading the charge for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the DuPage County public school district.👇
Asafonie ObedBy her own admission, Asafonie Obed might be the last person you’d expect to lead a charge against a MAGA insurgency in DuPage County’s public schools.
You might say Obed has been warning people about the MAGA movement for “parents’ rights”—or rights for the right parents—long before some of its ugly transphobic rhetoric became front-page news. Her mother, Kim Obed, worked for the post office. “She’s from Chicago—born and raised on the south side. She taught me how to fight for myself. To articulate what it is I’m trying to say without getting emotional. That has helped me a lot.”
Obed and her husband , moved to a neighborhood in Aurora that’s part of Indian Prairie School District 204 . “It’s a very diverse area—Black people, whites, Hispanics, Asian Americans. Everyone is very welcoming. I always felt welcome—until the school board election.” To Obed, Adcock’s response was patronizing and racist. “When I got that email, I had to read it a couple of times. I couldn’t believe a woman who wants to represent a district that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion would tell a Black woman to start her own school. Like—there’s no place for people like me in this school district?”
