Paved Way




who knew a dream like that could come true? ehhh?
I'll be creating, developing and implementing a "new" curriculum. from my own source of well educated scratch and the support of a team of my mentors. this works sooo well for my doctorate in Curriculum Design and CV

developing an art studio for young children... completely Cart Blanche[redundant].... with a NIIIIIIIICE fund :-)

redesigning playgrounds at 3 sites... again with a NIIIIIIIIICE fund :-)

consructing a greenhouse to support local harvesting and start some self sustaining practices and education about botany and additional green practices on the SouthSide again for young children

bringing the approach of Reggio Emilia to children on the SouthSide. an approach that encourages, reflection, humanity, social justice. social constructivism, the arts, an image, no a strong value in children being born capable, one of research, one of expression one of greatness if we plan on ensuring that our american children WILL become competitive in the global society, one that puts power back into their hands... molds them into active and aware, voice and resource carrying citizens.

me... 4 years in the game... this is what i get to do.

*assurance that this life is STILL gonna be AWESOME*
Thanks, Universe... Imma do right by you :)

a lil bit of everything beautiful

nurturing
a protector
guarded

I'm SO convinced. and yes... maybe I'm biased... cuz I mean... I do so happen to be a Black Woman
