There’s just something about a classroom… it’s my happy place 💛

The energy, the curiosity, the little voices, the big dreams…it all reminds me why I love what I do. Being surrounded by students who are discovering, questioning, and growing in real time is pure magic.

So grateful I got to spend this morning with and her incredible students. People like her creating spaces for students to grow and thrive remind me that learning is alive, joyful, and full of possibility ✨

Forever grounded in this work.

Love…Grow…Inspire

When the bell rings and the emails pause… who do you become?

💅 Do you reset at the nail salon?
🎢 Chase thrills at a theme park?
🏖️ Sink your toes into the sand somewhere far away?
💆🏽‍♀️ Unwind with a massage and silence your mind?
🍋 Or sip something smooth with a well-earned cocktail?

Drop it in the comments ⬇️
What do YOU like to do when ?

And if you’ve got a go-to ritual, tradition, or hidden gem… don’t keep it to yourself. Tag an educator who needs that reminder to rest, reset, and live a little.

Because the best educators don’t just pour out… they fill back up too. 💛

I’m here in New Orleans for the Issues Forum, thanks to and y’all, my heart is full of excitement and hope!

We’re gathering with changemakers and education leaders to reflect on our city’s rich history in the fight for education justice and to build new paths of innovation together.

This reception is at the TEP Center, the very building where, on November 14, 1960, three brave six-year-old girls — Leona Tate, Gail Etienne, and Tessie Prevost — climbed 18 steps to desegregate McDonogh 19 Elementary School. ❤️❤️❤️

Their courage changed everything for my city and this nation.

And today, standing in that same space with Ms. Leona Tate and Ms. Gail Etienne, I’m reminded that education justice isn’t just history, it’s a living legacy.

I am working, planting seeds, praying and manifesting that one day I can join the list of angels of Black Philanthropy to multiply my service and resources in the name of equitable education. My work in education is my life’s calling and I know this experience will be a meaningful one on the journey!

Stay tuned as I share insights from the SEF Forum where I know love, growth, and inspiration are leading the way.

It’s always such a joy when friends from my network visit New Orleans!

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Michelle and her husband, who are here celebrating her birthday! 🥳

I introduced them to The , a cool, immersive experience that beautifully showcases the history of cocktails and spirits in our city.

So grateful for the chance to connect, laugh, and share stories as educators and entrepreneurs. Conversations like these always leave me inspired and reminded of the power of community and creativity!
