My Project

As an educator, I not only teach about academics, but I also try to teach the importance of diversity, inclusion and equity. I work at a school that is lucky enough to have so many students from different backgrounds.

When we are working on art projects, it is important to me that all of my students have access to colors that represent themselves and their friends.

The items in this project would allow us to continue showing our diversity in art projects, as well as have conversations about our skin and what makes us unique.
