I was in SPED in high school.

I had a 504 plan, an IEP, a TSS worker, and went to alternative school.

I also went to 8 schools in 9 years.

Today, I’m one month from being assigned my dissertation chair.

Never give up.

I want my flex to be how many lives I can impact. My “why” is the youth. Glad to be here. 👊🏽🔥🔥

On a mission to show every boy in my school’s 5th grade class how to tie a necktie before they go to middle school.

I would like to express my appreciation to Carly, Kishon, Kaya, and Tristian for visiting Georgetown University to inspire my students.

The objective of today's lesson was to educate students on how college can shape career trajectories. We built upon our previous sessions focusing on network building and even crafted one-sentence "why's" on our reasons for applying. 🙏🏾🔥🔥

We applaud our 5th grade students who submitted projects, displaying impressive intellect. Their innovative approaches to Black history and progress were noteworthy. We are thrilled to celebrate their achievements next week.
