@taniataylorpowe@chiluvs1 Hi Tania! I'm Aziah Siid, K-12 education reporter.
Would your friend be interested in speaking with me for a story I am working on about teachers battling Long COVID. Feel free to have her or yourself shoot me a DM. Thank you!
Blessed Sabbath. @AziahSiid of @WordInBlack asked me some really great questions about Afrofuturism and education.
Check out her piece about my work. It was a pleasure reasoning with her about this important topic. https://t.co/tr5gArAZwR

In case you have yet to hear, the Debt Collective canceled Morehouse College students' debts. These were balances due directly to the school.

My latest for Word In Black!
The Lights on Afterschool events across the nation also serve as a way for local leaders and policymakers to hear directly from the students about the impact their after school programs have on them.
Wonderful piece on the impact and power of #LightsOnAfterschool and the wonderful people who organize and participate. Thanks, @AziahSiid at @WordInBlack, for covering this amazing event!
