Teachers do so much more than deliver lessons. They counsel. They coach. They mentor. And they challenge students to explore, to question, and to learn. For all that they do, I want to say thank you – from one teacher to another. Happy

May his soul rest in peace! I can’t even imagine the trauma he lived with day after day being raped and set on fire and having survived it all?! My God! It’s unimaginable! May he have peace in the arms of God!

Kwanza is not a religious holiday. It’s rather a celebration called 2 celebrate, support and unite the racialized Black community regardless of their religion, ethnicity, tribe, creed or language. It brings together the diaspora of the Black community from around the world.❤️🖤💚

Advocacy sometimes is a lonely journey; but it’s said “a person who knows what they bring to the table, is never afraid to eat alone.” Humbled by this honour & blessed to have people that recognize & support me. 🫶🏽Thank you!

Dear Educators & Staff!
Take the time 2 learn how 2 properly pronounce ur students’ names. It’s a part of their identity & they should not be reduced 2 using nicknames you imposed, due 2 ur own discomfort or lack of care.
