SCHOOL ADMINS: We teachers are starting the school year broken. I know you know this because we haven’t been quiet about it. We do not need new software or literacy training this year. We don’t need to analyze data. We just need time to plan, heal, and teach.

I’m writing poems and black and grieving and meeting with students and black and grieving and smiling in zoom meetings and black and grieving and eating a salad for lunch today and black and grieving and answering emails and black and grieving. I wanna burn down a city today.

Everyone won’t see your VISION! Everyone won’t think you got FIRE IDEAS! Everyone is NOT BLESSED with a GIFT to see something in you! You gotta be ya own HYPE PERSON & when you BELIEVE in YOURSELF you will PUSH through no matter the OBSTACLES✔️💯 Let’s Go!

I’m playing DFS. I can’t fit J. Jones and Hopkins in my lineup today. Who do I go with? Should I try to squeeze D. Cook into my lineup? #FFNow

A black man tries to break up a fight & walks to his car with his 3 kids inside. A white guy openly walks around with an AR-15 & murders two people. Guess who the police shot in the back 7 times?????? Don’t f*cking tell me white privilege doesn’t exist.

Hip-hop instrumentals are therapeutic. Try making your favorite hip-hop playlist of instrumentals on a streaming platform or YouTube or vibe out. #HipHopEd

As a hip-hop fan I can experience therapy just by putting a Tribe Called Quest record on. The record stops and I immediately want to schedule my next appointment. Hip-hop therapy works! #HipHopEd

MCs have always been vulnerable on wax but now they’re speaking up outside of the music. The connections they’re creating with so many young vulnerable fans outside of a song/album has been essential to removing the stigma put on mental health. #HipHopEd

Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z is the dope boys guide to mental health and 4:44 by Jay-Z is the mental health guide to all Black men. #HipHopEd

Which hip-hop song do you relate to from a mental health perspective? I have many but I’ll say a forgotten gem. G-Dep - Everyday. His pain is evident. I related on many perspectives. #HipHopEd

Hip-hop has forever been in a relationship with mental health. Hip-hop has been the voice of the people for the people but also the voice of our pain. The symbol of our self-expression. #HipHopEd
