7 months ago after losing my mom, I questioned my purpose on Earth, b/c the 2 areas where my identity has been rooted were in my roles as a daughter & as a school-based educator. I thank God that He continues to show me that He’s not done with me. Let the healing begin. TBC…

Thank you to Susan M. Green, Ed.D. for your authenticity and for doing SEL work with my Assistant Principal Pelekanakis and I today. It meant a lot. #bucketfiller #adultsneedseltoo #pouredintous Shenean Lindsay

Relationships matter!!! Dr.Karen Mapp could not have spelled this message out any clearer. We have to work harder at appreciating what ALL parents bring to the table when it comes to how we educate our youth. #AllinforKids Communities In Schools

I have a whole new level of respect for AV teams. When we think about the work needed to support our youth, everyone has to be a part of it. This team is working HARD behind the scene at Communities In Schools Student Summit Institute making them #AllinforKids more than they even know.

I want to publicly give God some glory for the AMAZING opportunity he afforded me this past week to serve as a keynote speaker at Communities In Schools Student Summit Institute in Las Vegas. An amazing group of people doing outstanding work for children & families. I felt at home.

It’s Read Across America Day! Thank you to Principal Desjarden and her team of PS 242 YDMA for an exciting morning of reading with her Kindergarteners. Jabari Jumps is a great story about overcoming fear & the importance of supporting adults. S/O to all the readers today.

I missed my CrossFit workout this morning by got it in with the kindergartners at PS 242 YDMA during a move break. Why was I sweating though? 😅 NYCDOE Office of Safety & Youth Development Office of Community Supports and Wellness

The hypocrisy in our world is bar none. Trevor hit this one square on the head. The things be become conditioned to believing is normal is unimaginable.

There’s no place like home. My heart is full after being asked by my longtime friend Shawnette to deliver the keynote at Benjamin Turner’s graduation, which took place on the same grounds where I graduated from the 6th grade in Money Earnin’. 30+yrs & kids are still our business!

Out here in these Vegas streets at the @harmony_sel #SELSummit . Looking forward to some #collaborations with Denise from CCSD Family Engagement Department, Sandra from Dallas ISD, Adriana from Los Angeles USD and Jacqueline Sanderlin, Ed.D. who brought down the house with her keynote address.

Loved vibing with Atiya, 3rd grade teacher out here in Vegas, who’s is making intentional moves to build relationships and affirm her kids when it comes to managing adverse behavior.

As soon as I stepped in the door of the . #SELsummit in Vegas and saw Jacqueline Sanderlin, Ed.D. we knew what it was. She killed the keynote address with her message about the 4Cs. It’s the future #collaborations for me! Can’t wait until she comes to NY for the #SELsummit !

📢NYC Public Schools leaders. Get your whole life in order & get ready for the Harmony #SELSummit taking place in person at LIU. You’ll hear from some dope presenters including yours truly & Jacqueline Sanderlin, Ed.D. who brings down the house EVERY TIME! Email [email protected] for deets!

S/O to my colleague Tierra Donaldson, also from NYCDOE Office of Safety & Youth Development on her recognition as well.

Soooo excited for the year-long journey of learning together with this team! CASEL

The most trifling experience with Spirit Airlines How do you change a flight from 11:50pm departure and then contact the customer at 9:21pm to say the new flight time is 9:50pm? Twenty-nine minutes to make the flight a a the boarding doors close at 9:35pm? Ridiculous!
