Pearls of wisdom

  • People who don't know when they were emancipated, and if they were emancipated, are never going to be emancipated--Lerone Bennett
  • Our young people deserve a future and I consider it the mandate of my ancestors to be part of the struggle to insure that they have one.--Assata Shakur(1998)
  • Excuses are futile when you have goals--Ms Educated
  • Touch the sky and tell it to reach for heaven--Ms. Educated
  • If all you've learned, at the end of the day, is what you've heard in a classroom, then you've limited your learning to all someone else knows! Read, research, reclaim your right to know--Ms. Educated
  • "Students are perfectly capable, you just have to demand their best. Initially, they might fight you, but once they discover that you are as determined as they are, they appreciate the fact that you won't give up on them."--Leroy Lovelace
  • I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am not your expectations--India.Arie
  • No one can make you feel inferior without your consent--Eleanor Roosevelt
  • “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”--Marianne Williamson
  • "To be good is not enough if your dream is to be great"
  • Your dream ignites a flame, your passion keeps it burning--Ms. Educated

About Me

Ms. Educated
I strive to make changes on the educational spectrum so that those who have been disempowered for too long can feel and become empowered. My journey is long and hard but without struggle there can be no progress (thanks F.D.)
