Too often, children from marginalized communities are faced with lower expectations, limited opportunities, and implicit biases that hold them back. Especially the Black African Diaspora. As I closed, I was reminded of my pawpaw and what he would say to me "They want us to forget!" They want us to forget our history, our knowledge, and our power, but we can’t let them. We need to change this narrative. Every child, regardless of their background, deserves to feel empowered to dream big and reach their full potential. Today as we remember the dream of our ancestors and acknowledge the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 1/20/25. Let’s work together to create an education system that uplifts, supports, and believes in ALL of our children.
