The Importance of Equity in My Walk

“Experiences shape internal beliefs and values. Past experiences have created meaning deep inside me. Eventually these experiences will shape how I interact with and influence others. Those things deep inside will eventually come forward for all to see and hear. This means we need to be open to understanding and sometimes questioning our why and our how. Being reflective is a cornerstone to begin an equity understanding and journey as educators and leaders.”
