“As a Surge Fellow, I look forward to strengthening my leadership voice, sharpening my strategy, and building with people who are just as committed to transforming schools for Black and Brown students. I’m looking to walk away with the skills, network, and confidence to lead boldly and create structures where students and staff truly feel seen and valued.
Surge feels like the exact next best step for me in my professional career as an Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging leader. I’ve been doing the work, and now I’m ready to grow into a leader who can make transformative change to our educational systems, not just moments. I’m at a point where I want my passion, my lived experience, and my purpose to align with a community that understands the urgency of this work. Surge will provide that space, support, and accountability!”
