Ooh Teachers TELLING stories ‼️‼️‼️‼️

There is something sacred about educators sharing their stories. ✨📖

When teachers step onto a stage and speak their truth the joys, the challenges, the moments that changed them it reminds us why this work matters. 🍎❤️ It reminds us that education is human. It is layered. It is love. It is resilience. 🌱🔥

Teacher Tales III is shaping up to be an incredible night. 🎭 We are thrilled about this year’s lineup and the powerful voices taking the stage. 🎤 The stories that will be shared are honest, courageous, and deeply meaningful. 💬💛

She was unbossed and unbought!

Today, we honor the life of a leader who changed the direction of American politics. As the first Black woman elected to Congress, Shirley Chisholm used her voice and her seat to push for fairness, equality, and opportunity for all.

Thank you, Shirley, for opening doors that continue to guide and empower future generations.

Happy Heavenly Birthday!
