Equity and Justice 

I went to the Queer Endeavor conference knowing that I needed to do more to show up for all of my students. Not only was I inspired, but I walked away feeling empowered and that I was given actionable steps so that ALL of my students feel safe, heard, and seen in my elementary classroom every day.
