I shouldn't have to say this, but I hear it a lot so...please, beloveds, do not use reading as a punishment. Kiddos should not experience reading as a consequence. Reading should be connected with joy.
The Black Teacher Archive has a new grant program—up to $40k in funding for projects that amplify, preserve, and produce historical knowledge about the intellectual and political legacy of black teachers. Accepting letters of interest until 1/25/25. curiosity.lib.harvard.edu/black-teacher-…
Cost-Free-gift for dissertation defense DC-Not the rain show We were on the floor on the side.
whoever was at rwt how much did you pay, what was your city & where were you??
Sunday School at 9:30. Morning service at 11. Sun dinner in the annex then 3:30 service. If I couldn't get a ride home, then evangelistic service at 7. Sat morning choir rehearsal, Wed Bible Study. Then revivals, convocations, and shut ins. Current church, one 75 min service.
It’s crazy when I hear people say a 2 hour church service is too long. Y’all fasho didn’t grow up going to revivals and shut ins 😂😂😂 cuz a 2 hour service is a BREEEEZEEEEE
I woke mine up at 10:30 by blasting "Jesus is the Reason" by Kirk and nem as I barged in their rooms.
I do miss my kids being little and waking up excited to open gifts. They wake up at 11 am now.
They met at a wedding on May 5th, 1973. I was born on May 5th, 1977.
Do most people know how their parents met?
They played this at the Valentine's Day function sponsored by the church. Hubby and I showed out, lol. Our friend group could only laugh.
Bad Girl by Usher in fact requires all of this idk
Happy 14th birthday to my Girlpie. I am honored to have been the vessel that brought her earthside. I promise to continue to parent her with joy and thoughtfulness.
Girlpie is headed to high school! Help her and her classmates end their middle school years with a bang by purchasing some popcorn or making a popcorn donation! Thank you for your support. popup.doublegood.com/s/5kjpl685
I can't wait to be endlessly aggravated by this kind of behavior. 🩷💚💙💛
Gonna keep it cute and not do too much like this: 🩷💚
11 years ago, I was honored by @dcpublicschools as highly effective educator. My career in the district took some twists and turns, but this night, in my pretty gold dress and royal blue pumps, was a highlight.
A few weeks ago, I had to have a sobering conversation w/my mom about the internet and fraud. She had a scary run-in that could have ended a lot differently, but I was able to stop any damage. She's used to being very aware, and this scared her and me. So check on your elders.
Donnie has seen so much. I need this documentary.
It’s heartbreaking 💔 to learn that the legendary @QuincyDJones has passed. He was #TheDude and there will never be another one like him. Thank you for the music, encouragement, and friendship Q. I’m so honored to have known you. RIP my brother. 🙏🏽🕊️
We need more C&I programs. We also need more C&I programs at HBCUs.
Dear colleges of higher education, I am BEGGING you to have Ed. D.'s that don't have the word 'leadership' in them. I want to be a better teacher...not get out of the classroom. Sincerely, Classroom teachers everywhere
I definitely just had a dysregulated parenting moment @SupernovaMomma.
