What a gift! Listening to @AlfredTatum share his expertise regarding literacy and Black boys. Taking notes and talking back to my screen in affirmation. Missed it? The presentation is being recorded #BlackBoyJoy #EarlyChildhoodLiteracy

Powerful words!
Yes, Dr. Kisha. We can skirt around issues if we want, but it will always lead back to the self. Why not just face ourselves and start/continue from there? #LoveFromTheVortex #archofself #hiphoped

@DrPorcher It is! I’m grateful my Principal gave it to me to read. We were going to do a Book Club with it before schools closed. Maybe we can still do a virtual Book Club instead. I love it so far! #HipHopEd
