When we build better schools for Black girls, we build better schools for everyone.

My debut book, Black Girl in the Middle: 5 Transformative Practices to Make School Better for Black Girls, is coming soon from Corwin Press! It’s full of powerful, practical ways to design a school and classroom culture that uplifts and empowers Black girls through reflection, building, and action. Whether you're a teacher, administrator, counselor, or community leader, Black Girl in the Middle equips you with meaningful strategies to create learning environments where Black girls are seen, heard, and celebrated.
