Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. asked us to think about the world we are shaping for those who come next.

That work continues today.
In classrooms.
In mentorship.
In how we prepare young people for leadership.

On a day of remembrance, we honor his legacy by doing the work.

Tomorrow morning I’ll be appearing on Higher Learning Network.

We’ll be discussing Mandarin language learning, Chinese culture, and global citizenship, and how education and cultural awareness translate into real opportunity for youth and adults.

I’m looking forward to the conversation.

Featured by Choose Chicago during the New Year’s Eve celebration in downtown Chicago.

I was asked what I like about Chicago.
My answer was simple. Chicago isn’t just the number one city in the country. It’s the number one city in the world.
That belief is the foundation of Global Pathways.

The start of a new year is a good moment to survey and reflect.

The message in this song is says it,
Be thankful for what you got.

This past year at Global Pathways was about building.

I’m grateful for the students and partners who made this work possible.

Looking forward to the year ahead!

Earlier this year, Global Pathways invested in a student journey to China through our micro grant program. Today, we’re seeing the results of that investment.

These images show the role of language and culture in global exposure. Proud of this journey and committed to continuing the work.

Education work is relational.

Conversations with educators and community leaders help turn ideas about access and language learning into real possibilities for students.

More soon.

Spent the evening at the Richard C. Haley Scholarship Banquet, a powerful reminder of what long-term investment in students looks like.

Had encouraging conversations about expanding language learning opportunities for youth through new partnerships. Education, culture, and access belong together.

This is what language education can make possible.

Supporting students as they use their language skills for real academic and global experiences is at the core of our work. Proud of this moment.

More soon.

Sharing the December Global Pathways newsletter.

It highlights students applying language learning to real global experiences, educator-led advocacy for world language education, and new partnerships.

Language education builds confidence, and opportunity. This work continues.

Chicago is investing into Dual Language and World Language programs. This expansion came from the work of the Chicago Teachers Union who pushed for stronger language access.
Global Pathways will take part in this important growth.

One reason I created Global Pathways is because CPS students need and deserve REAL access to world language learning that in turn leads to global opportunities
Shaundria’s story is a clear example of this. A Chicago student. A Mandarin learner.

Learning another language doesn’t just change what you can say — it changes where you can go, who you can meet, how people see you, and how you see yourself in the world.
