Such powerful words that resonated with me this morning from the inspirational Michelle Obama. 💫

“I want our young people to know that they matter, that they belong. So don't be afraid—you hear me, young people? Don't be afraid. Be focused. Be determined. Be hopeful. Be empowered. Empower yourselves with a good education, then get out there and use that education to build a country worthy of your boundless promise. Lead by example with hope, never fear."

Let's get to work y'all!

Impactful leadership- deep, resonating, and community-building leadership-is not a performance art. It is about the rejection of artifice and the embrace a deep and abiding commitment to the unrelenting work of making our communities more resilient and all families stronger.

Thank you Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance for this meaningful award.

Powerful words. Happy Monday all, here's to the start of a new month!

“For me, becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn't end,” Michelle Obama.

Flashback to this incredible and inspirational event last weekend. I had the honor to moderate a panel discussion for the National Coalition for 100 Black Women Las Vegas Chapter for their annual Madame C.J. Walker Women in Business event.

Thank you to all for being part of this enriching conversation and providing insight on navigating professional careers and development as women of color.

I am going to miss all of your famous quotes Kevin. Enjoy retirement and thank you for ten wonderful years at Nevada State. 🦂💛

In 1998, the same year the Bellagio opened its doors, Las Vegas was growing, ushering in a new era on the Strip. The growth meant Las Vegas needed teachers– and lots of them. And so the vision for Nevada’s first four-year teaching institution was created.
