T, thank you for being the most amazing TF one can ever expect. You taught me not only the material but also the multiplicities of our existence rooted in love, kindness, leadership and vulnerageousity! Thank you for leading be example on living our authentic selves — I’m much empowered!

Dr. V, you are the best of humanity and I’m so glad you continue to enlighten the future generations of leaders who will always owe a part of their impact to your thoughtful brilliance in training us — I know I certainly will. ❤️❤️

So much love!

Thank you for all the care and support you offered throughout the semester, T! You made me feel like a valuable part of our team and I so appreciate how much you went out of your way to send healing vibes, positivity and good energy. My favorite memory was watching you dance with your kitty :) Pet party! You are an inspiration. Love you, T! Best of luck!

T- It's so clear how genuine your care for people is and how deeply it runs. Thank you for bringing your all to this class and for all of your contributions and grace.

T, you are the embodiment of vulnerageousness. In class, you inspired me with your courageous poetry and the wisdom of your words. You listen with your heart and make others feel heard. I am grateful for the gift of your time and devotion to our class. Thank you for everything you have given us.

T, Hearing you talk about your work with HS students to create books in partnership with 826 was one of my favorite moments. Your commitment to using writing as a way to help students explore, express and have agency is inspiring. Also, your weekly emails kept me on track, which I really appreciated! Gracias por todo!

With much gratitude

T,
Reading your words is a gift. You taught me to confront fear when meeting the page, rather than avoid it. We can move through the fear and embrace it. I have so much gratitude for your presence every Thursday and your graceful orchestration of this course. Can't wait to celebrate in-person one day! So much love

Thank you, T!

Your compassion, empathy, and love for the others is infectious. Thank you for always holding space for the class, and me during office hours. You've taught me that there's strength in gentleness and I hope to emulate that same energy and love to my students.

I can't wait till I get to see you in person! If you ever find yourself in Brooklyn,NY we'll go on the most bomb ass pizza tour. Until then - know that you are so loved!

Thank you!
