“I am hoping to develop the skill and leadership acumen to make a difference as a black educator. My experience at Surge will be an impetus toward challenging norms, thinking outside the box, and exemplifying innovative, authentic black leadership in one of our country’s best cities. I am seeking a new paradigm for self-awareness, cultural competency, and learning that can impact youth in our city. Surge means this to me and more, and I cannot wait to make that first step.”
