Exciting news! The highly sought-after Black Family Engagement Institutes are back by popular demand. Ensure that your organization seizes the opportunity to enhance the capabilities of school staff to partner with Black families. #Blackengagement #sustainingpractices #collective

Summering. "Out of office reply on" The doctor is out. #summer #outofoffice #boundaries #rest

@WhitneeGarrett It won't ever make sense. It's politics and why I love to see new journals pop up that are high quality and that support a variety of disciplines and perspectives.

Ending a long day with a long walk, Qigong, dancing, and smiles. Have a great evening. #selflove #restoration #investinyou

@_CrystalMWatson Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Took my walk along the river today. Beauty everywhere. 🖤

@TyroneCHoward To what extent can we protect those engaged in the work? How can we ensure that we do not not burn the few- dedicated soldiers, out.

@TyroneCHoward What are the motives behind this work? How will this benefit students? To what extent were the communities most impacted, by the work, involved in what we do and how we do it? What evidence do we have that this (our approach) works?

Questions for consideration when engaging in equity work. ( A thread 🧵 )

@LydiaOcasioS Yes!

Lately I’ve been intentional about reclaiming my morning-before-the-morning. Time to just collect, alone, with nature. I pray, move my body, & let God set my spirit ablaze. It shifts my mood for the rest of the day. I have more energy to tackle things—or resist —when I am full.

@TrainingMindful Amen

We often overlook the emotional downturn that follows significant milestones—whether it's graduating, getting married, having a child, or returning from an exciting vacation. These "blues" are normal and something we should openly discuss and prepare for.

"Structural racism's toll on Black women is both professional and personal. Despite being highly educated, they benefit the least from advanced degrees, affecting their mental health." (Nzinga, 2020; Latunde, 2022, p. 63) #MentalHealth #StructuralRacism #BlackWomen

You know we are in trouble when we have to hire celebrities to headline educational conferences instead of paying educators to come teach and inspire. Sad. #influencers #educators #thinkers #actors

@NOLAed4Liberat1 Yes, I hypothesize that race, stress, reward, and socioeconomics will def. be themes based on other literature related to Black women and caregiving (Black women care for the world).

Education leaders face some common challenges such as limited resources and addressing the unique needs of students. But for Black womxn educational leaders, those issues are compounded by barriers and social injustices specific to the double-bind. #Black tinyurl.com/5n6uuv6u

Because weekends are made for fun. I highly recommend the California African American Museum. They take pride in excellence and always present an array of Blackness. #CAAM #southerncal #losangeles #weekend

@dr_s_bertrand @DrPorcher Congratulations

@Markie_Jay06 I feel your pain

I usually never read my spring evaluations until the very end of the summer. But, this time, stupidly, I decided to take a peak early. ...apparently, my theory course focused too much on theory 🫤

@AdamMGrant Absolutely, and flexible and hybrid work are one of the 10 shifts organizations must pay attention to IF they want to be around in the next 3-5 years.

Return to office mandates don't just motivate junior people to jump ship. They lose talent at the top too. When tech companies started requiring attendance, senior leaders were more likely to leave for competitors. Flexibility is an investment in retention at all levels.
