Strategic Legacy Building in 2024!

Happy New Year, Pearls! It is great to be back at the regularly scheduled events. So let's get into it.  As an urban-based education administrator and passionate advocate for inclusive learning, I understand the power of creating spaces that foster success for BIPOC students.

Reflection and Self-critique allow one to seriously consider one's thinking, how it originated, and how on...
