On May 21, Jodie had the privilege to share about ESSA with MICAH - Memphis Interfaith Coalition for Action and Hope’s Youth Council. Jodie leaves us with a short reflection, "This is an amazing group of middle and high school students. They are doing the hard work of defining what action and hope looks like for their age group." Jodie continues to do incredible work with MICAH and attended the Economic Equity Taskforce Public Meeting on June 2 to continue to educate, uplift and empower the Memphis community about ESSA and equity in education! Way to advocate Jodie!

On June 13 Merisha Leak took a visit to Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology to present the Title I New Teacher Institute on Teacher Efficacy. This presentation was powerful, Merisha left a few words of reflection, "I’ve had an engaging day that has further reiterated what I love in regards to where I am in my career: collaborating and working with new teachers. At the end of each presentation, I gave all participants a picture frame and card stock to reflect on what they believe about their teacher efficacy and I hope that I’ve impacted each one of them the way they’ve impacted me. This is truly heart work." Continue to be a vessel to facilitate HEART-filled and perspective shifting work in Charlotte Merisha!
