As a Black woman in education, I’m driven by a deep commitment to improving outcomes for historically marginalized students, particularly Black and Brown youth. I’ve witnessed how systemic inequities impact these students, and I’m determined to be a catalyst for change. The Surge Fellowship offers an invaluable opportunity to join a community of leaders of color who share a commitment to equity. By deepening my leadership skills and expanding my impact, I aim to develop strategies that uplift historically marginalized students. Now is the time to disrupt the status quo, and Surge will equip me to do so.
