One of my great hopes for societal growth post-COVID is that we figure out a better ‘future of work’ for teachers. Thanks @jencarolan & @reachfund for focusing your investing & thought leadership on this thorny problem.
"It's really sad all around."

This is a terrifying abuse of power @Delta - my teen son has witnessed this first-hand too. Redirect your ability to shame and derail travel to the REAL offenders: privileged (primarily white) adults who violently reject mask mandates and truly endanger the rest of us on planes.

Hope + a call to action: “this is a crucible year for our schools … and never has there been a greater opportunity for schools to reinvent themselves from within” #covidlearnings #edtech #education
Like a lot of parents, I’m anxious for the year ahead but hopeful that schools have learned a lot & are prioritizing whole child wellness

Nothing makes me happier than hearing about 📈🚀🎯 investments in our youngest learners cc:@therealtatianaf @Circleti_me @LearnWithHOMER
1/ Investment in #earlychildhood is on 🔥. A record $516M has been invested to-date this year -- more than the total invested in the last THREE yrs combined. Driven by demographic and cultural shifts, all accelerated by the pandemic.
Congrats @MaroParents team! Stellar recommendation by @foundersfactory
😮 Wow! We're absolutely humbled! 😮 businessinsider.com/vcs-name…
Continues to be both shocking and not surprising at the exact same time 🤦♀️
😔 According to @HarlemCapital's data, the number of rounds successfully raised by underrepresented founders has decreased by A LOT.
Q2 2020
91 Pre-Seed

The 🎯middle of a Venn diagram of my passions: education + funding women-led companies! 💪🙌💥 @AllRaise @melissazmoore

What are we doing to care for the mental health and wellbeing of teachers before they head back into the classroom this fall?
We need to care for the carers who hung throughout the pandemic to ensure educational continuity to the best of their ability. cbsnews.com/news/teachers-ha…
Echoing @transcendnet … welcome to the space! Innovating education is some of the most important work we (meaning: everyone) will do post-pandemic.

Higher learning is going through a renaissance.

So much talk. So little walk. 😬
Investors talked a big game last summer: 43% of VC's said that investing in multicultural founders had become a "top priority". Some firms have created plans, but the needle hasn't moved.
