This is my Summer gig…Ajani’s Arts & Crafts (https://t.co/vHq1jI0cWA). I create arts kits for children of color. The art kits allow Black and brown children to see and create art that looks like them. This is my first kit. (My English/ELA teachers may recognize this.)

At 16 Barbara Johns (b. 1935) led a strike for equal education in her Virginia high school & filed a law suit that was key to the Brown decision. She protested the disparities between Black & white public schools, survived Klan harassment, & was a champion of American democracy.

Happy Bearth Day to my father (Abi), one of the most revolutionary men I know. What strikes me the most is his humility & love for our people. InshaAllah I’ll continue to learn from his servant leadership. He says listening + learning are the most consequential aspects of leading

I’ve been dying to meet this amazing leader in person for almost 10 years! Never thought it would happen! Then Principal Darjean @5StarStudents surprises me 5 min before my keynote at #Ignite23 and comes up and hugs me! I was done! What a day to celebrate women who lead! @NASSP
