She removed all her makeup and deliberately made herself look ugly in front of hundreds of celebrities to prove one thing. She showed us that makeup changes perceptions, not values!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The attached video adds misleading overlays and cuts to unrelated or fabricated celebrity reactions; this is Alessia Cara's real 2017 VMAs performance of "Scars to Your Beautiful," where she removed stage makeup/glam to promote inner beauty and self-acceptance.

Think about this week. Ask yourself this: What comes to mind faster…the stuff you got done or the moments you had with people?
If the stuff comes to mind faster than the people, flip the script for the rest of the week. It’s literally only Wednesday.

Reminder that Dolly Parton didn't leave this world as some fragile lady, she left like a hot rockstar in heels & leather.

Coming back from a school break can feel hard for teachers and students alike.
Even when students do not say it directly, many missed the routines, relationships, encouragement, and sense of belonging they found in your classroom. Your presence matters more than you may realize.
What was one small sign that showed your students were happy to be back?

Presence isn't about having more time. It's about making people feel like they had your time.
We're all busy. The leaders people remember aren't the ones who rushed from conversation to conversation. They're the ones who stayed curious, listened before solving, and made people feel like they mattered.
Every interaction is preparing people for a conversation you haven't had yet.
Lead with your attention before you lead with your answers.

⚠️ TENNESSEE WILDLIFE WARNING ⚠️
Have you seen a hammerhead worm in Tennessee?
Forest officials say reports of the invasive flatworm are increasing. If you spot one, don't touch it with bare hands. The worm secretes a toxic slime that can irritate skin, and cutting it in half can actually cause it to regenerate into more worms.
Here's what to do if you find one and why officials say it's a threat to Tennessee's ecosystem: bit.ly/4foNGVD

Being teachable does not mean doubting everything you know. It means staying curious enough to notice when new information should change your thinking.
The strongest educators can hold confidence and humility at the same time, ask better questions, and treat feedback as a tool for growth rather than a threat.

Create an ENVIRONMENT where people FEEL SEEN and they’ll help FIX a system that’s been broken for years.

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

Big changes to how Kentucky measures student success are on the way. Under House Bill 257, districts will have more flexibility, and more responsibility, to shape writing instruction, define success and engage their communities.
This is a pivotal moment. If Kentuckians show up and get this right, we can move toward more meaningful learning for every student.
