“I want to continue to contribute my lifelong experience as a learner to help students achieve their own freedom dreams, by continuing to create spaces that foster conflict resolution and restorative practices in safe spaces. My freedom dream is for young people in DC to be able to achieve self actualization and experience self determination. My freedom dream is for young people in DC to feel safe in their communities and school. To help create an environment where recess is truly a time to play and be free. This is what I hope to accomplish as a Surge Fellow.”
