After having been off social media for 6 months, I know personally the positive effects of a social media detox. These steps are so necessary for your health and well-being!

Stop wasting time on your phone.

Here's how you can finally put an end to your smartphone addiction :

I made a career pivot: I am happy to share that about 3.5 months ago, I started a new position as NEW YORK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR at America Needs You, an organization that helps first generation-low income college students increase economic mobility. #nonprofitleadership

Being silent about your greatness isn't humble; it's wasteful.

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

I feel seen 😭😭😭

My toxic trait is buying books that I’m not gonna get to read for another two years

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

OMG this is literally me. Just replace Haiti 🇭🇹 with Barbados! Rep FLATBUSH ALL DAY! #Haiti #firstgen #BlackHistoryMonth @CaribbeanBK

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

@jetsetjose Who is hyping you lol?

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

This is the work I love to do. Advocating & creating for diverse, inclusive, and equitable spaces. Read some tips how! #DEI #culturallyresponsive

[Milken Family Fdn @Milken]

#MilkenAward spotlight on #DEI in the classroom: @FrancoisLeads on setting up the right school structures, @GinaBenz605 on empowering culturally responsive students, and @joshuapcole on preparing new teachers to support education equity. https://t.co/0LlfiKZd4d

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

@jetsetjose What are you trying to get done?

[Dr. Monica Cox @DrMonicaCox]

This is why some of you are restless. It is time to step away from the pack and do something else. Persecution may come, but you cannot change who you were meant to be. May you find the courage to soar in 2022.

@ShaquiseTeach I joined because of you haha when we were supposed to present 😫

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

Today, I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend the #NYSEDDigitalEquity Summit alongside various stakeholders: Chancellor of Board of Regents, Regents, politicians, school leaders, parents, & most powerfully, students. Major 🔑: Shifting from “digital equity to digital justice”

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

Check out this article that I contributed to regarding ways to celebrate and educate about #AAPIHeritageMonth! Let's keep this energy all year long to fight against all forms of racism #antiracist

[Milken Family Fdn @Milken]

How can educators stem the tide of anti-AAPI racism? We've got a wealth of actionable ideas for celebrating #AAPIHeritageMonth in the classroom.

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

I was honored in a virtual award ceremony yesterday for the @BankStreetAlum Recent Graduate Award (where I received 2 degrees in Educational Leadership). Only 3rd person to get this. 10 years in education so far, let's see where the future takes me! #BlackExcellence #MilkenAward

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

Having a Black female as NYC Chancellor shows school leaders like me that it’s possible & we deserve to occupy this education space. Hearing you speak on the work you done with racial equity years ago pushed me to do the same. #TheFutureisFemale #TheFutureisBlack #BlackGirlMagic

[Dr. Meisha Porter @MeishaPorter]

I've dedicated my life to @NYCschools, and cannot imagine a greater honor than the opportunity to lead as Chancellor. @NYCmayor de Blasio and Chancellor Carranza have laid an incredible foundation. I am ready to hit the ground running and lead our schools to a full recovery.

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

Apparently today is my 1st Twitterversary! 🎉 🎊 Appreciate the community of folks I have on here, especially all of my @Milken educators! The #milken community is strong! Looking forward to growing my #Twitter #TwitterSpaces.

[Princess Francois @FrancoisLeads]

This definitely gave me much needed reenergizing for future ways I want to Activate beyond my current roles. The future is looking bright💡! #milkenaward #educhat

[Jane Foley @Milken_jfoley]

How do you spell awesome? One hour with Milken Educators sharing how they Activate with leadership roles past, present, & reenergized toward a future that is filled with solutions & hope for students, colleagues, and education.
