I woke up to this Video of me singing at the Female Students Summit & realized
It's time !!
We re-affirm students collective power, in response to issues within the National Discourse.
Otherwise, if we're to stand 1 by 1, we shall fall 1 by 1 !!

We were speechless at first too...
Some children sliding down the remains of a destroyed building in Souran, Syria. This is their childhood. Let’s make sure they have a secure future.

We recently finished an application for @RWJF Culture of Health Leaders programs and this video was part of our submission. We think it does a great job of showing our community & the need for our project and more. Let us know what you think! #ourfuturefirst #edchat

Positive visions were created & fostered at @ReWireYou this weekend! These events are always a whirlwind, but I’m so grateful for the chance to build & grow with so many inspirational educators. My bucket is filled & I’m ready to get to work! #ReWire #ourfuturefirst #edchat

This is a reality for so many educators that I know & work with. It was my reality for years when I started teaching. This is a systemic devaluation of those who have the largest impact on our youth & our world. Educators shape every other profession. #ourfuturefirst #edchat

I joined the Chocolate World crew on @Elev8tionRadio to talk about building community around the tragedies in our area, impact of my students on my life, & how we are going to create the world that we want to see for our children. #ourfuturefirst #edchat youtu.be/N6U-cAI2wPg

Absolutely! We need more educators making decisions on local, county, state, and federal levels. We create the future in our classrooms and we should help create the environments needed for our students to be successful in our world. #ourfuturefirst

I am so thankful for all of the leaders that I have met on my journeys in education, politics, & activism. It inspires me to know so many of us are living by these words. It's not about the credit, it's about achieving the goal, together! #edchat #bethechange #ourfuturefirst

I wrote this piece, "I Choose Love," weeks after @realdonaldtrump was elected president. So much of it still applies, most even more today...via @BAMRadioNetwork #edchat #ourfuturefirst #bethechange #chooselove bamradionetwork.com/home/i-c…

How much time do you waste thinking about your dreams instead of pursuing them? It's time we step up & swing for the fences. Stop wishing & start doing. Set the example in our schools & communities. #BeTheChange for you & others! @DevonBeck365 #ourfuturefirst #MondayMotivations

The expulsion of black students from school for behaviors that white students are suspended for is exactly what happens in our criminal justice system. We must support these students in their fight for equity & equality! #blacklivesmatter #ourfuturefirst theintercept.com/2018/04/11/…

So what happens when the children of a recipient who tests positive lose their benefits & access to food? Why do we insist on punishing those who suffer instead of reaching out our hands & hearts to help? #ourfuturefirst thinkprogress.org/trump-admi…
