From the Desk of Ava February 6,2024

My first project is sharing some untold stories of historical black figures to children, in their classrooms, for Black History Month. It is so important for our youth to feel connected to and know about their heritage. Typically information on the same small group of well-known historical figures are taught in school every year. My goal is to highlight underreported stories. Throughout the process of planning this event I’ve really enjoyed getting the opportunity to reconnect with old teachers and people in my community. I am so excited for the upcoming plans as well so stay tuned!
