AYD! AYD! AYD!
Loved Sam's inspiring story! Thanks, Sam and Shileste!
Thanks for sharing
Awesome! ...navigating the unknown, develops and strengthens resilience and self worth! This was really engaging and insightful! Inspirational too.
Gratitude fills my heart as I reflect on the recent interview with Director Shileste Overton Morris. Delving into a topic I explored deeply during my dissertation, the conversation sparked profound awareness not only of the work we do but also of my own personal growth journey. It underscored the pivotal role that prioritizing personal growth plays in transforming our interactions with children and families. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook our emotional well-being and happiness amidst myriad distractions. However, it's imperative that we impart to our children the possibility of holistic health - mentally, spiritually, and physically. By nurturing our own growth, we not only set an example but also lay the foundation for a happier, more fulfilling existence. Taking ownership of our selves and understanding our true essence are key to crafting the lives we desire. Dr. Morris, thank you for providing a platform to share these valuable insights with our community. May this conversation inspire others to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and empowerment.
'Promo SM' 😔
What an excellent example of the good work being done by the Center for Schools and Communities! Excellent job Dr. Overton Morris and Mr. Armor!
