Who's that monkey?!

I marched on Washington in the womb, was named for a Kennedy & a King; my boots have always been on the ground, both literally & figuratively. I teach now at the same school I attended as a student; community means the world to me, again both literally & figuratively. Activism cannot & should not exist without education & the converse is even more true. The classrooms are the true frontlines of the revolution.I put this ideal into practice every day & indeed throughout my almost twenty-five year career: helping to realize our school’s Gay Straight Alliance that has served as an exemplar for so many others; creating a mural outreach program whereby students paint inspirational & aspirational artwork both in our hallways & for local charitable organizations; writing & directing plays in collaboration with my students that address social, cultural & political issues; serving in my local community on the Mercer County Human & Civil Rights Committee & on the world stage as a Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholar to Japan; & in my classroom of course wherein I teach & model the idea & ideal of the intersection of art & awareness, of creativity & activism.After 25 years in the classroom & upon winning the NEA Social Justice Activist of the Year, I have decided to move forward with my experience, my knowledge, & my passion, to bring my service to a greater platform—
to serve & defend our community.I want every individual- whether it be in a school, in a workplace, or in everyday life- to feel safe, to feel protected, & indeed to feel loved...& that is why I am founding the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice.
¡Qué lo hace todo significa?!
