Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”

— Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

I am proud to work with organizations whose purpose and vision match my own.  We are always stronger as a whole.

National Equity Project

• The National Equity Project (formerly BayCES) coaches people to become the leaders who deliver on the promise of a quality education for every child in America. We build conditions, culture, and competencies for excellence and equity in districts, schools, and nonprofit organizations.

• FIERCE is a membership-based organization building the leadership and power of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth of color in New York City.  We develop politically conscious leaders who are invested in improving ourselves and our communities through youth-led campaigns, leadership development programs, and cultural expression through arts and media. FIERCE is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of social justice movement leaders who are dedicated to ending all forms of oppression.
