Happy New Year Liberated Genius Family!
I hope everyone is off to a great start. This year's first quarter is starting off LIT!
Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream, Nipsey Hustle said, "the marathon continues," and Dr. April said, "let's work the dream and continue the marathon by celebrating the genius and beauty of amazing people all year!"
Let's celebrate and #BeTheWork

MARCH 1, 2020
12:30pm-5pm
Join Liberated Genius in watching and discussing Pushout, a feature length documentary which takes a close look at the educational, judicial and societal disparities facing Black girls. Inspired by the award-winning book, Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls, by renowned scholar, Monique W. Morris, Ed.D., the documentary confronts the ways in which the misunderstanding of Black girlhood has led to excessive punitive discipline which in turn disrupts one of the most important factors in their lives, their education.
This event is sold out; however, we have seats available for student groups. Email Dr. April for more information.

Interested in helping us celebrate Black educators, students, families, and the community? If yes, send Dr. April a message to find out how. We are changing the game. We've stopped talking about the practice of using culturally relevance and we're showing you how it's done. Don't believe us, just watch. #BeTheWork #Celebrate
In Liberation,
