It's been 6 years since I tweeted this & it has changed the trajectory of my life.
- I started Black People Will Swim
- Taught nearly 3,500 ppl how to swim
- We've hired over 20 Black and Brown lifeguards and swim instructors
- Received over $500K in grants
Ask about me 😉
There are public servants who love their job. And then there is Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Martin Maher, who loves his job so much he invites strangers to talk to him about it.
I have a Masters degre, 15 years of teaching experience at the secondary level and post secondary level, and make $55,000 a year.
The money is there to pay teachers but the American public has decided it's better to pay cops.
I hate y'all.
