A1 My favorite leadership book is The Unfinished Leader! #asuperweek

A2 My most influential teacher was Mr. Butler. He was amazing at inspiring his students with great story telling! He was one of the reasons I decided to pursue education. #asuperweek

Sooo inspiring! Thank you Bhavna Sharma-Lewis

A3 I love being an educational leader because I have the opportunity to advocate for students’ lives through courageous action! #asuperweek
