Though our condiments of choice and cultural music may differ, we are aligned and united! ?? In honor of International Women's Day, I'm so grateful to take a moment and shout out our dope Leadership Team at The Teaching Well. If this isn't an international squad, than I don't know what is! We've got all types of flavors in here: ??? Mexicana ??? Afro-Latina by way of Costa Rica ??? Asian-American of Indian & Filipinx descent ??? Black & Indigenous Clearly we bring more than our cultures, we have so many phenomenal skillsets across this squad, but who we are as whole humans is also powerful. While it might not always be this way, it is so nourishing to me to be on a Global Majority, all women leadership team. It's my first time, and it's fly! ? So much love to you Marisol Pineda Conde, Rebecca Bernard, & Alia Peera. I appreciate serving alongside you all - it brings me hella joy! #nonprofitleadership #IWD #strongertogether #diverse #alignment #team

The Teaching Well is in the house at #sxswedu this week! Tiffany Hamilton, Ed.D., CDE?, (one of our amazing Board members) and I are already in the mix. We attended a great session on generative AI, a Roundtable discussion on staffing schools in a time of funding decline, and learned from some Ed tech power hitters about funding innovation in education. And that’s only day one, we are just getting started! Thank you to the The Allstate Foundation ?? and Futures Without Violence ?? for hosting an incredibly connective, informative, and inspirational dinner where we linked up with other amazing organizations and got to dream into potential synergies to advance the good work. Looking forward to day two. ????
