Have to take this moment to sincerely thank @raptors905 for honouring me with the Unsung Hero Award. Who would’ve thought that my commitment to community, students and their families would reach as many people and organizations as it does. I am so grateful.

Black girl embraced by her community, has blossomed into a teacher activist. I am never ashamed of the roads I walked, experiences I’ve had and the challenges I’ve faced. I am a product of my environment. I’m proud of that. @AnimaWrites etfovoice.ca/issue/summer-20…
Let’s address this with urgency. Daily: Speak life into the next generation. We need to never get tired of doing THIS. We can’t afford for THIS to get old. THIS isn’t a fad that came in with the publicized murder of George Floyd. THIS is forever. THIS needs to be Always. 👊🏾
On my 11 year journey as an educator I think about community being at the forefront of my practice. Students and their families have are the pulse of my work. Yesterday TDSB made history. The first Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement was launched. @tdsb_cebsa

With so many transitions happening in the lives of Black students, providing spaces where they can talk about the things that cause them to worry is extremely important. Educators should intentionally cease opportunities within the instructional day to support well-being. – at Toronto, Ontario

I am so thrilled to share our @citynews feature with @DilshadBurman! Had the opportunity to talk about some of the work I’ve been spearheading in community to demystify ESTEEM industries and make them approachable environments of learning.
