Black History Month reminds me that leadership formation did not begin with titles. I think often about Ella Baker and how lived experience shaped their leadership long before recognition followed.

Thank you to Dr. Emily Meadows and Alysa Perreras for hosting today’s session focused on Identity-Based Harm in Schools.
Recording will be available soon.
I’m sure they were magnificent!!
Ever notice how pressure showcases true leadership?
It's not about control, but clarity. Slow down in chaos, listen amidst noise, and act with intention.
Leadership shines when staying grounded in the storm. 🌪️✨

I misjudged my own pace for 17 months. I thought urgency meant relevance. The middle felt like quiet panic at 5:12 a.m. In March, I chose steadiness over speed. The work deepened immediately.

Omg! I had a ball and I’m so glad that everyone in the room brought their whole selves.
Depth reveals more than volume.

Swimming is not about being fancy or fast. It is about knowing how to breathe, float, and move with intention in the water. Those basics save lives every single day.

Short reflection
Clarity creates movement. Control creates compliance.
Sustainable leadership depends on knowing the difference.

A lot of adults think they are behind when it comes to #swimming. The truth is you are right on time when you decide your safety matters. Progress starts with permission to learn at your own pace.

Do yall see this ish?! This is #Memphis and my Husmane STILL has to go to work. So guess what today is?
Yep you guessed it!
It’s officially “take your wife to work in the snow and ice so she can make sure you stay alive” Day 😂

I believe consistent access to water changes how people feel about themselves. That belief is shaping everything I am building next for this community. Vision always starts before the structure does.

If you source people for their thinking, you have to be prepared to hold it.
