When you give up on your academic career, you give up on yourselves @J_Veira speaking to our boys about black masculinity, self awareness, being responsive to racism rather than reactive. Use your words, your education, disrupt the narrative. @JamesGrievePS @RituA3 #PeelWRT2018
So happy our boys had this opportunity to engage and empower. xitter.gq/tsmswolfpack/status/99…

@J_Veira: “You know what I love about us, black boys? We are dope! We got the sauce! Being a black boy is not all about the challenges that face us. We continue to strive, to build because that’s who are we! We got the sauce!” #WeRiseTogether #dawswerise @Daddison7 @patrika54

Thank you to the #WeRise leadership committee on two successful conferences this week. Our @JamesGrievePS boys are so appreciative but if we had to be honest @RituA3 & I loved hanging out with all of them. Here showing us their “sauce” as @J_Veira reminded them. #PeelWRT2018
