It is official, after 2 years as an admin, 3 years as a Restorative Advisor, 3 years as a Dean, 9 years as a teacher...I am permanently an Administrator!! Woohoo I couldn’t have done without a team of people that allowed me to grow as a leader, as a human, as a teacher, as an Admin! Never give up on your goals and always stick to people who believe in you!! Just only wish my mum was here to see all her children’s successes! Happy Friday! #admin #losangeles #teachers #restorativejustice #thankyouprincipal #thankyouteachers #thankyoustudents #goals #life

✨‼️A BEAUTIFUL STORY OF PEACE, HEALING AND RECONCILIATION ‼️✨ This is my beautiful little niece. This is the beautiful little boy who gave her this swollen (and soon to be black) eye TODAY. Rather than sending him to an institution (and after comforting her father-my Bruddah @thelifeof_jallen who was in protective mode) I was able to conduct a gathering with him, his family, my mother and niece to begin soothing what was at the base of his frustrations. I was able to be present with his tears as his grandmother shared the root of some of his issues. I was able to share words of patience and light with his family AND THEY RECEIVED THEM. If we want to #heal our communities, if we want #RestorativeJustice at the center of our conflicting issues rather than white supremacist practices of incarceration that wish to destroy the future of our youth ‼️WE MUST BEGIN WITH OURSELVES AND THE HEALING OF OUR CHILDREN. ‼️We will be hanging out together soon and spending time to cultivate the beauty of what happened today. No one will be visiting him in an institution‼️ THIS is how we BUILD. THIS is how we become the CHANGE we wish to see. THIS is how we perpetuate PEACE amongst our people rather than hate and humiliation. We’ve gotta show our babies the way because this world is simply waiting to devour them. #NotOnMyWatch #gratitude #love #peace #healing #restoration #saveoursons #saveourdaughters #saveourbrownbabies #blacklivesmatter

Today I found a list I wrote a couple years ago that had different companies I wanted to work with as a consultant. You were on there. Breathing in my blessings. Breathing out my gratitude. Thank you @TeachForAmerica for allowing me to share my practice with you! #TeachForAmerica #BuildYourDream #TeacherLife #TeachersOfInstagram #MakoMindfulness
I had an amazing time yesterday leading a @wwp #volunteer group that worked on a mindfulness room in Boushall Middle School. The #mindfulness room is part of the Restorative Practices program led by @afrohindu Dr. Ram Bhagat. #whosham #rva #richmondpublicschools #school #restorativejustice #rps #rvaarts #dmv #rvaart #art #artlofe #community #communitybuilding #wallart #mural #middleschool

In 1991, Raymond Santana published this poem in our prison newsletter, Spofford Voices, protesting his incarceration and proclaiming his innocence. Four of the "Central Park Five" were initially sent to the Spofford Juvenile Detention Center, where they participated in a writing workshop run by YouthComm. We're glad that #WhenTheySeeUs is getting more people talking about this moment in history, and how we urgently need to fix this system that continues to wreak havoc on the lives of young people of color.

"Time"
I’m wasting time for a serious crime
A crime I didn’t do
A crime that traps black people like me and you
Teens having dreams but not going to the extreme
Peer pressure from friends that will lead you to a dead end
I’m not a follower. I was just with the wrong crowd
The type of crowd that could have left me on the ground
The white man tries to put us down
But we as blacks, could turn that around
I just want to go home and get my head out of this dome
I wish I could disappear and get out of this jail atmosphere
This is not a rhyme—it’s just time.
—Ray, Spofford Voices, 1991
