"Representation matters. It's important to see yourself in who's at the front of the classroom, in your literature, in your writings. It's important to see yourself doing things that are important, that are giving back to the community."
"It is important for our students to see that they have a place in this community, and until they see those faces also doing it, it's hard for them to imagine themselves in that spot."
"That was really where I discovered that education is my thing — I'm good at navigating school, and I can help people."
