Why I do what I do
Children challenge us to think and see things from different perspectives. Every child, especially minority children, deserve learning that is relevant to their experiences and identity. I find joy in being that representation for them and helping children to build the foundational skills they will need in order to be successful as well-rounded adults within our communities.
