“I believe young people are not only the future, they are the truth, they can be the wiping away of all of the mistakes made before them and the Big Bang of something brand new, or the continuation of the same old sad cycles...but, no matter what, they are always The Truth.”

Michael Essien
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Middle School
​San Francisco, CA

“I believe young people...are literally the problem solvers for the future. It is our job to build their AGENCY and assist them with finding their VOICE.”
“Young people have taught me how to listen deeply to their communication (nonverbal, words, behavior) and the questions they pose. And, I have a responsibility to address their communication and questions.” 

Anthony Galloway
Heartwood Agile Learning Center Clarkston, GA

“I’m here to see what all is possible, what’s available; I really like the appeal of social emotional learning, but also the emphasis on wellness for the educator for the leader as well.”

Jibraan Lee
Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School  San Francisco, CA

“I believe young people ultimately want to see a future for themselves in society. They need to believe that they can contribute and have an equitable opportunity to do so. The seeds have to be planted early before the realities of inequality show themselves. Those with strong foundation, talents, and intelligence will be able to thrive.” 

Addae Cox

“I believe young people are already courageous and brilliant.” 
“One thing young people have taught me is to be fearless and see the beauty in All aspects of our culture.”
