Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I work with students that come from underserved communities to provide social and emotional support throughout the day. I also work with families and community members in providing after school enrichment that is full of physical fitness and STEM programming that keeps both their minds and bodies healthy. I’m the leader and founder of the school’s Black Family Council. My goal is to always serve my students and their families to the best of my abilities.

My Project

Black students make-up 9% of my school's population. I am the only Black educator, leaving students with many issues of self-identity and understanding about who we are. "Sulwe" is book that promotes self-love, and acceptance, while helping children to be proud of who they are and realize they're just as beautiful outside as they are within. This book is a sweet take on ways young children can be helped to confront colorism; it’s an issue we often have to educate kids about––they may be fine around their loved ones but will need to be able to deal with a European-values obsessed society.
