Educators, your worth is not measured by how tired you are. Rest is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Embrace self-care the same way you encourage it for your students. You cannot pour from an empty cup. 💛✨

At the New York State My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Symposium, young men from across the state came together not just to connect but to rise.

#NYSMBK is more than a program—it's a movement. Youth can lead with purpose, advocate with passion, and inspire with authenticity. @NYSMBK
