    "Grades are not only a reflection of student performance but can be self-fulfilling prophecies." GPAs are determined by more than just work ethic or raw talent. They’re a product of privileges like elite tutors, college-educated parents, and more.

    ., I tell the story of how you gifted this pin to me every chance I get — your kind gesture of sisterhood deeply touched me. Your support and the support of other girls and women in our community propel me forward.

    I see you rocking that Shirley Chisholm pin. She taught us that "If they don't give you a seat at the table bring a folding chair." Love that had a seat and your voice was heard.
