Her man performing the haka for her alone in front of thousands of people, when her educator passed her baby the diploma, the silence of the crowd…I’M CRYING SO BAD OH MY GOODNESS <3
Random thought:
Last year, someone called me an overachiever.
I told them that was a misnomer; “I am achieving at the level I am accustomed.”
Never heard from that person again.
This happy little boy would’ve been two years old today. I am so grateful to have known his light and his spirit. You are missed daily, my sweet Asa. Mommy and your sibs will love you forever. 💛
My youngest child would’ve been three years old today. I hate that we don’t get to celebrate his birthday with him alive. Oh, all the wonderful things he would’ve been doing! We miss you so much, little one. Continued blessings on your journey. ✨✨✨
I finally told the yt colleague to stop interrupting me when I’m talking.
Me: “As a Black Woman, I hope you understand why I’m mentioning it.”
Her: “You’re right, I’m sorry. To let you know, I don’t see your color.”
Me: “Ok. Please try to see the history of your actions.”
Y’all.
Remember that “surprise!” observation I had yesterday?
The other person w/my principal was *his* supervisor.
They LOOOOOOOVED my lesson and instruction! Nothing but great feedback!
My principal chased me down to tell me the good news.
Happy Friday! 💛

If there was an agreement w/YMCA or Boys & Girls Club to have all day programming in conjunction w/the school during those three weeks, that would work wonders!

Me: 👀👀👀

: *spritzes body spray* “Yeah, I can’t smell this either.”
Me: “Let me give you a C*vid test.”
Welp.
Let the Easter quarantine begin.
Obsessed with the fact that, because Rebeca Andrade doesn’t speak English and Simone Biles doesn’t speak Portuguese, the vast majority of their interactions consists of giggling, enthusiastic nodding and variations of this:
I now have access to my children’s Canvas classroom as an observer.
The one that doesn’t like to complete their work on time (if at all) is in for a real treat.

Right?! They’re more freaked out than anything else. “Are you hurt? Cut? No, ok. It’s ok, it’s just a plate/mug. It can be replaced but you can’t.”

Harold Perrineau as Mercutio is a performance that remains entrenched in my brain.
Imagine acting circles around Leonardo Dicaprio himself and only being in half the movie. One of the best performances put to film, period.
This beautiful lady returned to the ancestors today at 3:33 pm in 2019. We had a very complicated relationship yet time and LOTS of spirit work has helped us both heal. I’m really missing her today.
I love you, mom. Ibae tonu. 💛
Asked if winning a Nobel Peace Prize or becoming President was the most exciting thing that happened to him Jimmy Carter responds, “when Rosalynn said she’d marry me — I think that was the most exciting thing.”

Most new teachers don’t have a fraction of the pedagogical or content knowledge that our teachers had. No one wants to teach and alternative license programs are very prevalent. Even if they do a traditional program, there are education professors now that have never taught.
A Missouri school district is honoring a fifth grader who raised enough money to pay off all of his school’s student lunch debt – $7,300
The Blue Springs School District has over $150,000 worth of school lunch debt
