APS is getting back to basics, One District with One Goal committed to Every Child. Literacy is key to this vison. Check out our latest State of the District video, “ Building the Foundation for Every Child’s Future”. youtu.be/ZEVmD6vGDfw

Self-reflection, personal accountability and continuous improvement is a way of life.

Or in the words of my favorite girl group, En Vogue…” Free your mind and the rest will follow…” The narrative we tell ourselves about the world around either locks us in cages or sets us free. I choose FREEDOM.

"I never lose. I either win or learn." -Nelson Mandela It’s important to see the lessons and opportunities in what may present itself as a loss. Romans 8:28

@Tanya_N_Shelton Congratulations! #PonyUp

There’s a new Doctor in Region IV! We are proud of you! #SMU #PonyUp 💙❤️

I miss my baby sister everyday but the fight for a cure must continue so that no one else has to suffer such a tragic loss. Forever #BrandySTRONG 🌻

Personal accountability is POWER. It allows a person to be self reflective and solution oriented, which leads to innovation. Finding fault in others and placing blame yields power to the problem. Instead, take account of your own actions, partner with the doers and win together.

If you operate in fear, your results will be compromised. #beFearLESS

True leaders serve. #serve #support #partner #advocate #listen #empower

The one thing in my life that never changes. #LiveonPurpose

I’m so excited! The West Dallas STEM was my longest school launch project and is now a national model for Toyota USA Foundation. I’m humbled our hard work has spread to communities all across the U.S.; including my home state of Georgia. one.toyota.com/member/post/28…

Be ambitious. Use wisdom. Dream big. Let peace be your guide.
