BMEs from AZ, TX, GA, SC & PA logged into our Leadership Lab! Participants: "We as Black Men, although we are in different spaces, we all are on a similar path and we are here to support one another." "I didn't feel like I "had" to participate, but I WANTED to participate."

"My career in education spans more than two decades. I was first introduced to teaching by my mother, Joy Harrison, a lifelong educator with Seattle Public Schools. Growing up in Seattle, I never thought I would become a teacher." Ayodele tells his story https://t.co/dMizbczt2p
