“The decision by the Biden-Harris administration to provide up to $20K in #StudentLoan cancellation to #PellGrant recipients & $10K in cancellation to other qualifying borrowers is a strong start" says Denise Forte (@DM_Forte) of @EdTrust ctt.ec/9bpHk+

@ginipupo @MetroSchools @EdTrustTN So grateful for your leadership and example during what was undeniably one of the most challenging times in our society for students, families, and schools. Onward! 💪🏽💪🏾 #rw

Traveling & presenting at convenings out of state is awesome, but this week ranks among my most rewarding while at @EdTrustTN. Learning & strategizing alongside our Alliance partners in Memphis & Nashville was magical ✨ Looking forward to Knoxville & Chattanooga! #TAEEonTheRoad

5 of my 25+ plant children ☀️🪴 They were a little neglected during my more than a week of travel to GA & VA, but they’re resilient like their #PlantDad and don’t look anything like what they’ve been through 😉💪🏾🌱 Y’all see my #Monstera is thriving, too!

Blessed to travel home to Virginia to celebrate Aunt Roberta’s 93rd bday! (She’s really my Grandma’s 1st cousin, but deference/honor ♥️) With a BS from @VSU_1882, @UVA M.Ed. & a storied career, she still inspires us all & has pushed for education justice and access my whole life!

I have nieces, nephews, and a goddaughter, but the 27 children I have are all plants 😂🌱No better way to celebrate today than bringing in another child 1/2 price!#plantdaddy #splitleafmonstera #HappyFathersDay to my PawPaw, Dad, brother, uncles, cousins & other dad figures🫡
