Kevin D. Starks, Ed.D

Equity is ugly. If you’re 100% committed to equitable practices & NOBODY is upset or even inconvenienced, you’re lying. ADVOCATING for equity isn’t harmonious. Systems anchored in privilege are disrupted, interrupted, & rebuked by REAL equity. #BOOM #equity

Here in the great city of Chicago at the #InnovativeSchoolsSummit #ISS currently learning how teachers “tech up” math instruction for students. #connectivity #Technology #getconnected #5G #tmobile

After a 5-day trip to Martha’s Vineyard for my daughter’s 1st birthday, I’m recharged. I heard someone say, “Stop rescheduling joy” & it changed my life. Grab hold of Purposeful Therapy Outlets (PTO) to recharge your battery. #Wellness #family #Fitness #Travel #VeryDemure

I had the privilege of facilitating listening sessions with a group of thought leaders and industry experts in Kansas City and Wichita. @KellyBielefeld thanks for navigating the aftermath of unforeseen scheduling conflicts. You are a true rockstar! @TMobile #Magenta #Education

The worst thing to ever put on a coward’s ‘plate’ is a leadership “role”. They will always try to convince you that you’re the problem. Ask questions, push back, & create necessary trouble.

@db_bezz This is good Dave. Mine is easy. Sweets! Sweets are my weakness. I give in almost every time. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 😂

You know that question interviews ask: What is your weakness? There are many, but I have two, for sure. 1. I absolutely suck at parking my truck. I could park any other vehicle fine, but not my truck. It's bad. Like real bad. Damn it! 2. Under no circumstances should I be allowed to pick a grocery lane. Guaranteed there will be some argument or major dispute from the person in front of me at the checkout. Every time.

I used to get upset when I woke up before my alarm. Now, I challenge myself to make the most of the “extra” time I am given back into my day. #ChangeYourPOV #ChangeYourLife

Blessed to work for a company that doesn’t make you feel guilty about taking PTO. @TMobile I’m enjoying my 2 favorite people without any reservations. My precious daughter & my amazing wife. Life couldn’t be any better. #family #Happiness #Calm #HappyHolidays 🫶🏽

Getting back to it for my birthday on WEDNESDAY! I haven’t been on a bike since my little girl arrived - over 2 months ago!!! YIKES! Proud to say, “I’m coming back!” #Spinning #instructor #fitness #mentalhealth

@db_bezz Well said! Happy Thanksgiving! Oh, & come through shoe game! I see you! 💯

It's me and d o double g this weekend. Big sis off to So. Cal to be looked at for college ⚽️. For those that don't know, I'm in the phone business. And my holiday kind message is this: Put your phone down today and make eye contact, talk, nap, live, eat, love. And if you pick it up, it's to invite someone to your table. Or to take a pic. ✌️ Happy Thanksgiving! Sending ❤️

This is the worst game of tag. 🙄 Sleep, I’m sick of being “it”. Your turn to find me. I’ll make it easy. #NewParent #Newborns #GirlDad
