Projects & Collaborations

In 2018, I was one of seventeen educators to be honored as PBS KIDS' inaugural class of Early Learning Champions. I was selected for my commitment to diversity, equity, and representation for young learners.

During my 2016 - 2018 intensive fellowship at the PA Department of Education's Office of Child Development of Early Learning, I explored the many components of Pennsylvania's comprehensive early childhood system, pathways for growth for our community, and advocacy and governance in education.

In 2019, I joined a panel of community leaders to speak on obstacles and opportunities facing metropolitan Pittsburgh’s African American communities,

As part of the development team, I acted as an education advisor to ensure synergy between exhibit pieces and learning goals. Additionally, I lead a team of 5 educators to create an education guide to accompany the exhibit. 

In collaboration with PBS LearningMedia, I produced and directed a two-part, eight-episode educator professional development to investigate the ways in which racism, mental health, history, and education intersect. Episode features include me, Dr. Bettina Love, Myles Bess, Blair Imani, and more. 

In this one-hour live segment, I was invited to talk with Tammi Mac and other notable guests about addressing race with children and why you should have honest conversations with your children about racism
