Quotes
- Even when they call your truth a lie, tell it anyway! Tell it anyway![1]
- It's so easy to get caught up in something that doesn't really honor our highest good, our true self, our being in the presence of the divine.[2]
- Our bodies are the texts that carry the memories and therefore remembering is no less than reincarnation.[3]
- Every Black teacher I had told me, “I’m going to give you the best that I have; and I want you to be better.” It is from that perspective that I approach nurturing and mentoring my students. […] Though much of my life has been formed in that academic world, my sense of mentoring was not deformed by it. Nurturing is my ministry. And I have to do it in a way that offers to every student an experience of school as sanctuary.[4]
