Adeola, I am so grateful for your commitment to our CMs' learning and happiness! You are constantly reflecting on what we can do to increase the culture and their positive experiences. As an experienced MTLD, you have taken the lead in providing support and share best practices that accelerate teacher impact, and are always eager to jump in with great ideas and different perspectives. Leader, achiever, organizer -Helda

Adeola,

You truly do bring magic to our team! I so admire how you build relationships with your CMs and colleagues and the curiosity, courage, conviction that you lead with in your work. I learn so much from you and always leave our conversations with deep appreciation for your perspective and passion. Thank you for the drive and commitment you bring each day. Cheers to year one and excited for what's ahead!

Allison

Adeola, if admiring your work ethic, passion and drive is RON (weasley) then I don't wanna be right. Really struggling right now to make this a professional YOS congratulations note instead of a love note. In every interaction I've had with you, you think before you speak, and consider those around you, and act with such humility and good-spiritedness. If everyone was as brilliant and thoughtful as you, the world would be an easier place to navigate, as would this office. Your corps members and this entire office are lucky to have you!

Happy Year of Service, Adeola! You are literally one of my favorite coworkers (and friends now...*wink*) ever! You are so brilliant and so thoughtful and so beautiful and so bold and the combination is of such value for our team, your corps members, and students! Your commitment to education and using that to better the lives of those around you is one of my favorite things about you. You're also pretty funny and Daniel isn't the only one who thinks so. I appreciate all the ways in which you challenge and push me in my everyday work and when it comes to learning opportunities outside of my work. My time on staff has been exponentially better because I get to sit across from you.

Love,
Natasha

What would we do without you?!?!

I really don't know and I'm not trying to find out! Adeola you are amazing and inspiring and such a Ravenclaw and dope and I'm here for every second of it. Thank you for speaking your truth, holding us accountable, making this team better, and doing it with a smile. Your presence is a present :) Very lucky to be able to work with and learn from you! - Cierra

There's an Adeola Fan Club? Can I join?

You made it through a whole year! Serious congrats on this accomplishment. Yer a wizard AP. Thank you for gracing this team with your knowledge and experience, and for creating spaces for dialogue on topics the team needs to hold at the forefront of our work. I appreciate the critical lens you bring to all team spaces and how tireless you seem to be in making sure your view is heard. I'm sure that is actually extremely tiring, and really value your commitment. Please keep being your authentic (unapologetic!)self, because your voice is refreshing and necessary. -Carla

To the lady as Sharifa coined "knows everybody," it has been great to see you coach this year! You have strong ORG, and have built some great relationships with your people! I am also glad you were able to come to the black summit! Keep expanding your opportunities and good luck in year 2!
