In Los Angeles, I witness the immense yet untapped impact Black educators can have in inspiring and empowering our youth daily.

California desperately needs more Black educators not only as role models, but to unlock possibilities for students who will reshape our future. Now is the time to remedy the gaps that have constrained them for too long.
