We're cheering on the entire @dcpublicschools community for making historic gains in our statewide assessments! 🎉

Way to go, DCPS! 💙

Grateful to collaborate with DCPS Chancellor Ferebee on advancing Strategic Plan progress monitoring practices that drive equity and measurable impact for all DCPS students.

This month’s calendar spotlight is Ms. Ijeoma Anyanwu, a @JacksonReedHSDC alumna who now serves as DCPS’ Deputy Chief of Data. “In education, we’re always thinking about what we can do that’s innovative, but we want to hold onto what’s working, too. Data helps us do both."

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

It was such a pleasure meeting you yesterday, Tari! I was so inspired by all that you do! 🙏🏾

[Official Lax Girl™️ @officiallaxgirl]

Excited to hear from Ijeoma Anyanwu, a fellow @possefoundation scholar, give the @Sewanee_Career Beyond the Gates keynote speech this evening!

She’s the deputy chief for data and strategy at the District of Columbia Public Schools, and y’all know I love my data!⌨️

May not have agreed with every political decision he made - but that does not detract from his trailblazing accomplishments, particularly as the first black U.S Secretary of State and a Veteran that loved and served his country in more ways than one. Rest in Power ✊🏾 #ColinPowell

New on the blog: #EPAlum Ijeoma Anyanwu (2014) on tackling systemic racism while transforming schools @BostonSchools. "If we wanted to really see sustained improvement we were going to have to address this issue at its root." @ije_roqs #EPAgentsOfChange https://t.co/XjrPCoBQJP

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

Thanks bro ❤🙏🏾

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

Humbled and Honored. Thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight 🙏🏾 Amazing, inspiring event.

[Education Pioneers @edpioneers]

Ijeoma’s work has led to important conversations and systematic review of all @BostonPublicSchools policies through an anti-racist lens -- the first review in 10 years. Thank you for your #leadership, Ijeoma! #EPAgentsOfChange

[Education Pioneers @edpioneers]

Closing out #EPAgentsOfChange w/a celebration of some of the many #EPAlum who are meeting the moment. First up: Ijeoma Anyanwu, 2014 Alum + Manager of School Transformation @BostonPublicSchools.

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

Happy to be back "on campus".
Looking forward to tonight's conversation with tomorrow's leaders. @univofthesouth @Sewanee_Career

[The N-Word: NUANCED. @drose225]

America is a complicated place to live and to believe in unquestionably. I hope we all are able to be honest about every nuanced feeling we have in this moment. All of those feelings are true. It’s a part of trauma recovery. And we have been in deep trauma.

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

Yes to this!! 🙌🏽💯 All of it!!
Thank you @drose225 for the words I couldn't seem to find myself 🙏🏽

[The N-Word: NUANCED. @drose225]

I just wanna say that it’s possible to be happy Trump was not re-elected AND not be thrilled about a Biden presidency AND be proud of Kamala making history AND be skeptical about what the future of this nation holds. All of those feelings are valid. Especially if you’re Black.

[Elliot Williams @elliotcwilliams]

Unsolicited opinion from a black man: everything that's wrong with race in America is three white men starting a conversation "about race" and having it immediately degenerate into an argument about "law and order."

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

Truly heartbreaking 💔
To our....
Our Black Superhero; African King,
Our barrier breaking Athlete; Supreme Court Judge..
Rest in Power ✊🏾

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

Very inspiring 🙏🏽

[BostonPublicSchools @BostonSchools]

Thank you to @DrIbram & @BLoveSoulPower for leading our @BostonSchools educators in a powerful, thoughtful, and necessary conversation, discussing how to support our students in loving, culturally affirming and equitable learning environments. #BPSProud

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

Power creates freedom, not the other way around. We can’t be free unless we have power.

Freedom is not the power to make choices. Freedom is the power to create choices.

And to have the power to shape policy is the power to create choices.

[Ijeoma (Anyanwu) Ikwunemere @Ije_roqs]

On this #FourthofJuly,

We should be celebrating our disobedience, turbulence, insolence, and discontent about inequities and injustices in all forms - as we have all yet gained the power to be free..

Patriotism on the Fourth of July is resistance.

On this #Juneteenth, 155 years later, Americans are celebrating the abolition of slavery. But Black people are not celebrating as if we are free.
Chattel slavery is no more. But the descendants of enslaved people are still not free. 3/3

[Politics and Prose @PoliticsProse]

In the words of @DrIbram, "One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an anti-racist. There is no in-between safe space of 'not racist.'”
