What an unforgettable moment for you all as a community 💙

Thank you Rep. Jennifer Pawlik for the honor of being your guest today! My main take away at this moment is an affirmation that humanity needs spaces to discuss problems & to do the tough work of finding solutions. This can be done by honoring each other by listening. #grateful

What an honor to be there & what a joy! Thank you Rep. Jennifer Pawlik & Senator Christine Marsh for your advocacy for public education & for your continued partnerships with your communities!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., from his essay The Purpose of Education. "I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture of their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits."
