OMG…has it really been that long since I was on here?!! Is this thing on…*taps mic* So much has transpired, & so much has stressed me out these past few months (I’m going to keep it positive though). But some AMAZING things have happened too… I started the month with a promotion and earned tenure.🙌🏾

Shoutout to whoever nominated me to run in the 2025 NCTE election for the College Section Nominating Committee. I’m currently going through something in academia (that will come to light) & it means EVERYTHING that someone thinks so much of me that they’d take the time to nominate me 💜

Love this!!! 💜
In class we did three stations and here’s a peep to give you some ideas. One was Rainbow Write where they wrote the vocabulary in a white crayon and paint. #iteach #blackeducators #eslteachers #teachers
