Closed our Regional Support Team meeting with unity and a reflection of our founders who created these illustrious organizations during a time in which they could only attend HBCUs barely out of slavery. Happy Founders Day! 💗💚❤️🤍
It’s a distinction celebration! Proud of the leaders and teachers in the SWH cluster. They worked hard last year and the data showed. That hard work also built the foundation for a strong start this school year!

from my first year teaching during the 1999-2000 school year at Martin Weiss ES. SkinnTy and was growing my hair from a short haircut in college. 22 years old! A kid teaching kids.
Thank you so much to the admin teams in the Spruce/WH Cluster for the surprise going away celebration. You are the giants whose shoulders I stand on. I learned from you & you grew me as a leader through the tough times and the wins. Keep getting wins for kids. 🥰 I’m always here.
Great things are happening for our Ed. D. students. Our very own alum Tanya Shelton & current Year 3 student, Laura Garza, have been promoted to Associate Superintendents in Dallas ISD!
All HBCU graduates! All African American women making history! At this very moment I am beyond proud to be an HBCU graduate, African American woman, and a member of the Divine 9‼️

One of my former teachers (Joe Ellis) captured this moment for me. I was happy to support his business after he had done so much for me and the campus while I was a principal.
With my team at the School Leadership Executive Director retreat. Reflecting upon this year to plan for the upcoming year. Executive Leadership Presence, Building Capacity, and Communication. How does your WHY show up in your work?
All I did was get off the elevator on the 4th floor and one of these Deputy Chiefs of Academic Services yells……. “Here she comes” and then ducked off in the same office. Why though??? 😂😂😂
