I finished a significant milestone on January 27th! It was a year since I was sworn in by @MayorBMScott as a school board Commissioner for @BaltCitySchools I have clocked 598 hours of board-related work. 🙌🏾 I consciously decided to track my time. I wanted to be transparent and balance my time in board meetings and the community. Even though this is a volunteer role, I committed to voters in 2022 to continue working hard and be accessible outside of election time. I was also one of many people who testified and supported (SB31/HB153). The bill created a task force to study compensation and student members on the Board of School Commissioners. As the task force has conversations about board compensation, I hope they consider the hours it takes. Our logic in requesting compensation was to make the service more accessible to those who cannot afford to serve for free. I remember we envisioned mamas like me who may need childcare or parents who work a part-time job, and that extra income is a barrier to them offering valuable insight for our kids. (Disclaimer: My family thinks it's well over 10 hours a week. I know there's time I missed, but this is most of it.)

at one point, david tried to cut me down directly, saying something like "if you even understand reality at your age." to which i responded, i've worked in print journalism a lot longer than he has
you won't be shocked to know the most vocal pushback in today's meeting came from the young women journalists in the newsroom. it was disappointing that our editors didn't stand up for us when david dismissed our questions and denigrated our work thebaltimorebanner.com/econo…

I was trying to be patient and assume that we would have a fair and transparent process for all of our schools. Once again, this is not happening. I just published Save Charm City Virtual @CharmVirtual to explain to the public what is happening. link.medium.com/oDbJYGVfrGb

🚨 “PUBLIC MTG” RE: JHU PRIVATE POLICE TODAY @JohnsHopkins has not publicized via email or social media that this mtg will be the annual public meeting of their “accountability board” where ppl can supposedly “testify” on the draft policies (no indication in the agenda either)🧵
Today at 5:30 pm Johns Hopkins Univ is letting some people testify remotely, without clear instructions, about a draft of private police “policies” that’s been incomplete since its publication more than a month ago. I’ve registered with the intention of addressing something else.
