Words we live by

Reflections from the collective

If we want the world to be different, each of us must become different.

Don't concern yourself with shade from trees that don't bear fruit.

You don't need to get ready if you are already rooted.

If you don't bend the truth, you can set it down where it belongs.

As an educator, you are not just surviving the classroom. You are remaking it with your presence.

The most important thing to remember is this: to be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become. — W.E.B. Du Bois
