We are celebrating our second anniversary🎉🎉 Black ESTEEM started as a space for Black girls interested in pursuing and persisting in STEM fields. Shout out to all our brilliant girls, families, community partners and sponsors that has been part of our journey .

Wishing all my teachers a smooth and safe transition as we begin this school year. May you be a safe place for our students and their families. Stay hydrated Stay willing Stay magical ✨

Every child deserves an educator who believes in them. Someone without bias or a preconceived notion because every child matters.

Congratulations goes out to you Tee for leading the first student- led YPAR conference in Canada🎉🎉. It was refreshing to hear directly from students. Your work continues to affirm Black youth, centre their lived experiences, voices and agency in K-12 education.

Ok Lord I’m willing to become a partner in this project 😂 I’m down for whatever you got.

“There’s nothing like it—being able to do something that people don’t think that young people can do,” Johnson said. “You don’t see kids like us doing this—it’s usually, like, you have to be an adult to do this.” #BlackgirlsinSTEM complex.com/life/new-orlea…

Last night I was honoured with an award that was chosen by the student voices at Amesbury MS I’m so honoured that my students see me as a caring adult who loves them and they picked me… such a beautiful night 🥹💙

I’m not an angry Black woman. I’m a black woman whose questions make people angry. There’s a difference. #StopPlayingDiversity
