Real talk uncensored, thought-provoking insights, and practical solutions for education and beyond.
Every child who walks through a school door carries unspoken questions: Will I be seen here? Will I be heard here? Will I be valued here?
In this deeply personal, intergenerational conversation, I sit down with my son, Jaden, to explore the power of connection through the Three V’s of Representation, Visibility, Voice, and Validation, and how they shaped his K–12 journey.
From a painful third-grade moment when his work was dismissed, to the educators who helped him rediscover his brilliance, Jaden’s story shows how schools can either silence or empower a child’s sense of self.
