Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day!
🏃🏽‍♀️🤸🏽🏊🏽‍♀️⛹🏽‍♀️🏌🏽‍♀️🤾🏽‍♀️🏇🏽🏄🏽‍♀️🤽🏽‍♀️

April is a great month of marathoning! 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Congrats to my girl for running a great !!

Wasn’t able to make it down as I spent a beautiful weekend with some amazing women of color on the trails of the English countryside (more to come with that!) but so proud of my teammates for a job well done in typical English weather! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I blinked and the holidays 🎄were here.

Another English Christmas for the books. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So grateful to be close to my husband’s family during the holidays. ❤️❤️

Sending much love to all my family, friends and students around the world this holiday season! ❤️🌎

Tomorrow we run 26.2 miles of the streets of London for Cancer Research UK !!

Been waiting for this day for a long time but so excited to go out there and run in honor of Maggie and Paula! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you to those who have donated and supported my journey to get to the start line over the past three years. If you want to track me during the race, there are several options above so send all the prayers and good vibes for miles 18-26! 😂😂😂

I’ll be starting around 10 am UK time. See y’all at the finish line. 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️😜😜😜

Yall…We are ONE week away from the London Marathon and I am pumped! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 I have been waiting to run this dang marathon for the past THREE years, since the summer of 2019, when our Paula passed away and I decided that I would like to support the same charity that she supported when she was still with us. ❤️❤️❤️

When the runs got really tough, I would remember my “why”. I am incredibly blessed and lucky that my body is still letting me do what I love and I know that Paula and Maggie would be proud! ❤️

We are about 75% to my fundraising target and would love to support others that y’all know who have had to experience this horrible disease as well. I would love to dedicate a certain mile to that person, 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️ just let me know their name in the comments or you can DM me privately. ❤️❤️❤️

Click on the link in my bio to head to my fundraising page and where you can read a little more about Paula and Maggie’s stories.

Thank you so much to those who have already donated and supported my journey these past three years on the Road to London for . 💪🏽🏃🏽‍♀️💪🏽Also, throwback to our cute tea party fundraiser back in Morocco! ☕️🫖😍❤️🧁🍰

Ya girl is BACKKKK…in the classroom!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I accepted a History and Geography teaching position at a public school here in England and this week was the first week of school. I had forgotten how that first week of school teacher tired is a different level of TIRED! 😴😴😴 Not to forget that I am running the TCS London Marathon in three weeks and had a 15-miler the day before the first day of school. 🤪🤪🤪🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Teaching in England, (or any country) is always a huge learning curve because of the different curriculums, cultures, students and just the way things are done. Stay tuned to my IG stories for all things American teacher navigating British schools because if it was anything like the last four months of school last year then it's bound to be entertaining! 😂😂😂😂

As we start a new school year, I will continue to mentor and tutor students online and in-person with Believe Mentoring and Tutoring but will only be able to take on a few students with my busy schedule. Opportunities have come to fruition in the background and can’t wait to share with y’all when the time is right! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

C’est la vie of an international educator!!! 🤓📚📖

If you are an AP student (or know an AP student) taking any of the above and feel that you may need a little more support for May exams, don’t hesitate to reach out! 💪🏽💪🏽

Remember, you are more than just a score! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been incredibly blessed to travel the world, 🌍 meet and surround myself with women from all different cultures and backgrounds. One of the common themes I see is we are freakin’ incredible and PODEROSAS! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

From Honduras to England, wishing you all a Happy International Women’s Day!

I had Tutoring Tip Tuesday content planned for today but instead I wanted to share photos and information on one of our old students from our former school in Morocco doing what she can in Ukraine as Russia continues to invade her country.

is in Ukraine helping her community by providing warm food, shelter and supplies with her church. If you are willing and able to donate, you can go to the church website and donate to the Ukrainian Relief Fund. The link is in my bio. If you have taught or know Aya you can try to send funds directly to her as well. The funds will go towards food, medicine, heating, gas, supplies for the army on the frontlines and other expenses.

If you want to see the work she and her church have been doing, watch her video on her page and go to her highlight labeled, “New Reality.” 😔

Standing with and praying for you all! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Wow! How much things can change in a week! As these few days were meant to be relaxing and spending time with fam, it turned into resting and spending time with each other in a different way as we all tested positive for the ‘Rona 🦠over the Christmas weekend.

Christmas Day was the worst with me waking up with all the symptoms 🤧 but my amazing husband still made sure we had Christmas 🎄dinner together, at the top of the stairs.

We got to open presents tonight and do Christmas all over again. The holidays may look different…again… this year but this ain’t our first rodeo. We are resting and getting better each day! Thanks to those who have been checking up on us. Y’all be vigilant out there! This Omarion variant is something else! 😬

Happy Mentoring Monday everyone! Congrats to my students and teachers out there for making it through this very tough semester, 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽while still in a panny. 😒😒😒

As I am a big believer that students need time to rest and just be kids/teenagers during breaks, so do adults! I will be spending the next two weeks spending time with family and getting ready for my girl Kristy, to come visit me in England! So pumped!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Excuse me, while I continue to enjoy my bubble baths, 💁🏽‍♀️ (check out my stories) 😂 runs 🏃🏽‍♀️and shopping 🛍 !

As we head into the second to last week of 2021, let's reflect 🤔on how much this year has changed us and how much growth we have experienced through all the highs and lows of 2021!

See y’all next week and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 ❤️🎉

Happy Mentoring Monday! As people are putting up their Christmas trees 🎄and getting ready for the holidays, students and teachers are also getting ready for midterms/finals. Not sure how it became December already but here we are. 🤪😂🤷🏽‍♀️

During this time, students are looking for support in their classes because they have multiple classes they need to study and take exams for and don’t really know where to start. Every student’s needs are different and their classes differ on whether they are needing to complete a project or study for an exam.

Remember at the beginning of the year when I talked about using a planner? 📖 This is the part where it especially comes in handy. With a lot of schools having projects and tests due within the next few weeks, establishing a study plan for projects and tests will help prevent procrastination and unnecessary “cramming.” Find out due dates for each class and figure out how much study time you will need for each class, each day. This will depend on several factors such as how hard or easy some of the classes are for you and what your overall goal for each class is. I work with my students on this and get into the nitty gritty of what they want to get out of each class.

For example, if Algebra 2 is your hardest class, you will probably need to spend more time studying for that class. Contrary to popular belief, distributed study time each day is more effective than cramming and pulling an all-nighter. 😂😉

If you are needing support with organization, learning effective study techniques and note-taking, don’t hesitate to reach out!

I am here to BELIEVE in you!

Have a great week and good luck on your mid-terms! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
