My Project

The Black, Latino, Afghani and African middle school students that I work with every single day require a lot more than just a teacher who knows their content. My students face trauma and hardships that are often unimaginable. I want to be able to provide them texts that will help guide them in their journeys.

At times reading a book can be an outlet for emotions that students keep hidden; by providing them a safe space and access to these texts I hope to help show my students they can reach out.

Historically, the students that I teach are lacking supports and school is one of the only places they have to find any. I am not a trained psychologist but I am an adult who can help guide them towards the proper resources and reading books can be a way for them to open up that conversation.

The students I teach are close to my heart and I believe that every single of them deserves the chance to learn how to feel.

Thank you for all your support!
