The students I serve each day come to our school facing a variety of challenges. Living in the most dangerous section of our capital city, these children have been faced with hardships in their eight years that many could not imagine in a lifetime.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" -Nelson Mandela.
This quote perfectly describes my efforts as I push my students to persevere through their challenges, to the success that lies ahead of them.
Briana Monet is a widely accredited film maker in the Washington, DC area who was born and raised in the same neighborhood where my students live. Her success in the field of videography is a testament to the grit and creative force behind her inspiring work.
Representation matters within spaces where black and brown faces are not often a part of the conversation.
Having the opportunity for Briana to shoot and edit with our students exposes them to a opportunity and profession first hand.
Real life experience with a new skill is the key to helping students unlock their powerful gifts and limitless potential. This documentary and working with a film director allows our students to tap in a see the beauty and talent within themselves!
