My 6th grader after picking her up from school today: “Dad, I had the best day ever!” Me: “Why?” “My teachers told me that they liked me!” That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Students want to been seen, appreciated, and loved by teachers. Thank you @LiberationATL ✊🏾 – at Georgia, USA

During this very strange start of school, we are more grateful than ever for the educators around us. Principal Muhammad is an inspiring example for us all. We are grateful for his leadership, and the resonance of this talk. @CarverPrincipal youtube.com/watch?v=KOgGNrJY…

Extremely ecstatic!
On August 29th, we are launching Treasure Chats- our version of TED Talks that will broach a variety of issues that are unique to this marginalized population. Each month, we will feature a different speaker. We would like to share the first 4 leaders of this dynamic expedition.
