The Surge Fellowship represents an opportunity to join a powerful network of education leaders committed to equity and justice for Black and Brown students. It embodies my vision of transformative change in education, where systemic barriers are dismantled, and every student thrives. Through the Fellowship, I hope to amplify my impact by collaborating with like-minded leaders, gaining new perspectives, and refining my leadership skills. I aim to address inequitable state funding and advocate for better facilities and resources in underserved communities. Ultimately, I aspire to lead initiatives that create sustainable, positive change in my city’s educational landscape, ensuring all students have the support and opportunities they need to succeed.
