Our values & beliefs are not ours until they are tested. Equity is about #access #belonging #agency & #identity. If we fold & crumble under the pressure of those who seek to silence & exclude our students we surrender the right to claim we stand for what's best for all. League of Innovative Schools

I want to give God praise and thanks.

Some news: I am beyond thrilled to finally share that I have been appointed Museum Curator and Director of the Center for African American Media Arts (CAAMA) at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. I officially walk into the job in 2 weeks!

For those of you who are struggling in your leadership role to please everyone…..just remember to focus on pleasing God first, the rest will take care of itself.
