My intention is to elevate the consciousness of our black and brown students by encouraging them, with critical pedagogy, to make responsible choices, in love, that will create a world that  permits for humanity to "authentically" thrive. When we authentically thrive, we have a mindset of abundance, not separateness, that makes room for everyone to shine their light, "for it is their divine right, on earth as it is in heaven."

Education in this country is inherently racist and has been since the founding of this country. And, as the mother of two beautiful and brilliant Black girls, it is my responsibility to interrupt the dominant narrative sustaining dysconscious and willful racism in our schools.
