📚 84 books. 25,297 pages. One powerful habit.

In 2025, I read…not for the number,
but for perspective.

Reading builds empathy.
Reading sharpens thinking.
Reading expands how we see the world.

One page a day adds up to better leaders, better learners, and better humans.

When I see that our students and our citizenry aren’t reading, it is concerning.

Having a kindle paperwhite really helps since I have constant access to free or lowcost books via Bookbub, Libby and Amazon First Reads.

Thank you, mommy, for taking me to the Clifton Forge library every week to load up on books! 📚 ❤️📚

If you’re setting goals for the year ahead, start with a book. 📖✨

🚀 Virginia is Going GLOBAL — and Yesterday Proved It.

The 2025 Global Virginia Summit was a powerful reminder that global leadership isn’t a buzzword, it’s a responsibility. And wow… the energy in every session was electric.

🌍 From opening calls to action to bold visions for our workplaces, classrooms, and communities, today’s speakers pushed us to imagine a Virginia that leads, not follows, on the world stage.

Here are the leaders who made today unforgettable:

✨ Welcome + Final Remarks

Beatrix Preusse Burr, Global VA President

🎤 Opening Keynote

Lamar Shambley, Founder, Teens of Color Abroad — reminding us that global access must start with equity.

💼 Panel 1: Global Leadership in the Workplace

Dr. Michael Herrera
David Popelier
Lisa Zujar
Everette Jordan

A powerhouse conversation on what it really takes to build globally competent teams.

🍽️ Lunch Keynote

Jarrett Lash, UN Youth Ambassador, inspiring us to see youth not as “future leaders” but as leaders right now.

🚀 Panel 2: Rising Global Leaders

Julia Hosage
Priscilla Colon
Lisa Fore
Dr. L.J. Randolph

A dynamic panel of trailblazers redefining what global citizenship looks like in education, business, and public service.

🎯 Closing Keynote

Ryan McElveen, Founder, Global Leaders of Fairfax County, challenging us to scale global leadership opportunities for every student in Virginia.

🌐 Global Virginia is building a future where international engagement, multilingualism, and global competency are fundamental, not optional.

And yesterday proved that the momentum is REAL.

I particularly enjoyed the presentation by Lisa Fore, from Abingdon, Virginia, reminding us that rural school districts in Virginia are at the ready to encourage global competence.

If you care about global readiness, youth leadership, workforce development, international education, or cross-cultural collaboration… this is the movement to watch.

🌟 Full-Circle Moment at ACTFL25 🌟

Ran into Andy Martin — my former student from Rockbridge County Schools, now a fantastic world language teacher — and WOW, what a moment.

Seeing him here as a confident educator, sharing ideas and leading in our field, reminded me exactly why we do this work.

From my classroom to his own.
From student to colleague.
From Rockbridge County to ACTFL25.

So proud of you, Andy! ❤️ And so proud of my former school for valuing the importance of World Language! Geaux #RCHS Rockbridge County High School!
Teachers: our impact lives on in ways we can’t always see… until it walks right up to us at a conference. 💛🌎
