🌍✈️ Educator by day, globe-trotter at heart! 🌟 Embracing life's adventures as a proud Black woman passionate about learning. My views are my own and do not reflect those of my employers.
Hikes 25 & 26 complete!
Knocked out Pleasantville Loop on Saturday, then treated myself to some ice cream at Prigel Farm Creamery. Wrapped up the weekend with a great hike at Northwest Branch with Outdoor Afro DMV — solid workout and even better company.

Hike 20/52
Rain chased everyone else away—my first solo hike!
Just me, the trees, and an impromptu forest concert 🎶 (I sang all the songs).
When no one else shows up, show up for yourself.

Currently reading/listening to Jim Crow’s Pink Slip—the truth about how Black educators were systematically pushed out post–Brown v. Board. This history isn’t talked about enough. #BlackEducationMatters #HiddenHistory #Desegregation #BlackTeachers #EducationalJustice

Spent the day in DC celebrating Black history & excellence! Visited the Motor Green Book exhibit at the MLK Library, then saw the Quilts by Black Women at the Renwick—powerful stories stitched into every piece. A reminder of resilience, creativity, and legacy.

My role does not allow me to disconnect completely from the madness and my body is holding the stress. This is my constant reminder that rest and self care must always be prioritized.

Taking time to be inspired by the talented Nikole Hannah-Smith @Loyola University Maryland.
