Day 15 of #BlackHistoryMonth is all about creativity. @stuckonaneyelnd is an amazing illustrator who built @iltopia to tell more stories featuring black characters. Along the way he decided to pick up some #tech chops & built his own #AR app recently. #bhm#BlackInTech
@njmvondo @Jfalkenthal@samkkohl Thanks, Jess, for the connection! NJ, congrats on the fellowship. Looking forward to learning more about your work and hopefully collaborating in the future.
Yesterday, when I got to tell my student Hang that I was reading a book with a protagonist from Vietnam named "Hang," she said, "Wait, what? How? What? MISS..." My only regret is that she's a Senior and it took this long for this moment to happen.
We hope you’ll join the DPS Library Services department at the Reading Festival on Thurs Oct 3rd at the PPA Event Center! Please see the attached photo flyer & the next few tweets for details (there’s so much happening on this day we can’t fit it into one tweet)! (1/3)
This photo melted me. I write for children so kids from my community can see themselves, their lives, their people, their flavors, their heartaches inside the pages of books. Mirrors are powerful. They validate who we are in the world like nothing else. #RudineSimsBishop
“Literacy blooms whenever students have access to books they want to read, permission to choose their own, and time to get lost in them.” —Nancie Atwell
A great culminating summer event with @edinitiativeco Innovation Fellows. This incredible group of entrepreneurs inspired and energized Colorado’s Innovation Ecosystem. I am proud that have had the chance to work with such an amazing group! Now the real work begins!
Sharing Novela's progress with the community means that much more when you have your Day 1 supporters cheering you on! Thank you @FurmanBrown for supporting us since Summer 2018.
We're so excited tonight is pitch night! It's not too late to register (Eventbrite linked below). We're looking forward to showcasing Novela to friends, mentors and allies. See you tonight! .@edinitiativeco https://t.co/YZvI2ZjPbQ
