OMG! Can you believe that Black History Month is only a few days away? It feels like January just started. I’ve been spending the last two weeks creating worksheets for Black History Month and Women’s History Month! Michelle Obama is my latest edition! I couldn’t wait to come and share this with folx.
I can’t lie, I’m usually the teacher who looks for worksheets a day or two before, but then I find myself scrambling to find what I need. Say it with me: we left leaving procrastination in 2021! We are going to find the resources we need early! Lol

One thing about me, I’m gonna draw some Black clip art! Lol
Many of you may not know, but before I was a teacher, I studied visual communications with a concentration in graphic design. When I started teaching, I felt like I had to put drawing on hold. Then the pandemic hit, it was a blessing in disguise for me! The pandemic made stay home and gave me time to draw.
In January, I started selling on teachers pay teachers. Surprisingly enough, I didn’t even think to draw my own clip art 🤦🏽♀️. Lol I was searching the internet for clip art but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Then it hit me, DRAW YOUR OWN! Lol I’ve been drawing each and every piece of clip art, each illustration by myself and it’s been great.
I graduated in 2015 and while I still designed things in my sore time, this has become both a “side hustle” and self care.

Most if not all organizations have a mission statement to let the public know what they aim to do to serve/help the community.
In short, My mission is to help Black and Brown students succeed regardless of their zip code. Our students need to see people who look like them not only in their classroom, but in leadership as well. This is why I chose to take the leap and become an educator. I thought about it for many years. I chose another field and I decided to come back to education. Everything I do is for the kids and the betterment of my community.
What is your teacher mission statement? You can think of it as an elevator pitch or it can be a longer statement. What is your reason for doing this work? Let me know in the comments below. 👇🏽
