I am beyond thankful to all of the many people who contributed to the effort to send some financial assistance to the people struggling in Haiti and Lebanon.
In only a few short days, y'all put together a total of a little less than $212, which was split right down the middle to donate to Lebanon Needs and Ayiti Community Trust, respectively.
In the grand scheme, this is but a drop in the bucket, and there is so much more that needs to be done to address the current crises and get to the underlying causes. That said, I'm honored to be in community with people who want to uplift marginalized peoples.
For the people who purchased the Lebanon and Haiti Map Talk Scripts, here is a video that provides a decent example of how to use them and what using them can look like in your classroom.
Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart. Wishing you all the best as we enter this new school year. I will leave you with a quote from an OutKast song that has resonated with me for years, that that I hope will inspire you just the same:
"You wanna reach a nation? ... start from your corner." - Big Boi
