I am still glowing off the high from the C2C final dinner. It feels like graduation where you don’t want to let go. I don’t want to not see Audra and Erin and ask Alice how her lessons went and watch Sahar’s expressions while she reflects on her teaching. Something huge happened here. That room radiated with the drive and commitment that emanated from every body in the room.
The work we do is exhausting and endless but we work tirelessly
and refuel with each other’s ideas, passion, and humanity. Sometimes I wonder
if teaching is as much a skill set as about being someone who inspires. In the
words of the great Lauren Lamont: We are on fire. Fire is the passion and
urgency that drives us. We can spread that fire by touching someone else, disseminating
this partnership to other universities, drawing our students into the cause, seeing
leaders in everyone around us, challenging injustice, and living lives where
we embody respect and humility in all that we do.
Join us.
Catch on fire.
-Lolly
