Today I facilitated professional development for 7th grade English teachers and I started with a round of applause because people who teach middle school deserve all the good things 😅🤣

I’m already exhausted by the respectability politics of this back to school season, specifically as it relates to dress code. Bonnets don’t stop kids from learning, and Black girls don’t need more policing in schools. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Sometimes I come across passages written by she who shall not be named, and I’m shocked by the chasm between her words and her actions. HP was a lighthouse; I wonder if Joanne actually read it. "We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, is worth saving."

"Muggles remain ignorant of the source of their suffering as they continue to sustain heavy casualties," said Kingsley. "However, we continue to hear truly inspirational stories of wizards and witches risking their own safety to protect Muggle friends and neighbors, often without the Muggles' knowledge. I'd like to appeal to all our listeners to emulate their example, perhaps by casting a protective charm over any Muggle dwellings on your street. Many lives could be saved if such simple measures were taken." "And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in these dangerous times, it should be Wizards first'?" asked Lee. "I'd say that it's one short step from 'Wizards first' to Purebloods first,' and then to 'Death Eaters," replied Kingsley. "We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, is worth saving."

Okay—I deleted the post asking for advice! I collected some REALLY GOOD feedback & I’ll be adjusting. Ya girl definitely bit off more than she could chew asking for advice 😅 I have to trust myself, my expertise, my experience as a teacher, my instincts, and my heart for the rest.

Anyone finished Ride or Die?! 2 scenes that are the most perfect representations of girlhood & womanhood in modern television history: 1. At a hostel, a group of young women play into stereotypes in order to solve a problem. It was fun & beautiful.

Today I finished The Five Star Weekend and started Ride or Die and it’s so clear that we need more media centered around outrageously attractive and extremely charismatic middle-aged women.

We need amazing teachers in the classroom—but we also need amazing teachers in admin roles supporting amazing teachers in the classroom. The latter is what makes/sustains the former. It matters a great deal!

I’ve accepted a role outside of the classroom and I’m nervous about losing myself. Many administrators have “change agent” and “systems manager” and “organizational leader” in their bios and yes! I love those things and strive to be those things.

Traditional liberal arts majors struggle to find their first job. Once they do, they adapt very well to our rapidly changing job market and have rewarding careers.
