No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately defines you. Integrity is everything.

I’d be lying if said I don’t miss my dawgs

Well said. The question becomes, how did we retain quality educators?

Reading Hanif and Imani back to back to start the summer vacation will definitely let you know where the work is needed.

Out of straight up curiosity I'm making a list of words I want to ask my students next fall to see if they know the meaning. I just have one so far, please feel free to add to the list! 1. Rewind Do they know what the word "rewind" means?

I’m so moved by the gesture to include me in a mural alongside some iconic heroes, some actual legendary humans that I once taught my students about, some folks who still inspire me. Truly humbled. So thankful to students, that BSA & the educators who organized this tribute.

Had to pull up & see the paint in the flesh. To see it up on a high school hallway wall NOT just in February but still so spotless in July. Too fly. Can’t wait to break bread with these students sometime in the fall. #BlackEducators #BlackBoysLikeMe #ForTheCulture #TeachTheBabies

Same! Well, here we go, again.

End of Scarborough.

It is so needed for educators to have some charity for themselves in the present. I know that angst that comes along with July turning into August and the angst of having a to do list that is still too long while trying to soak up the summertime. Give yourself grace. Take time.
