Ward 7 shows up for our teachers and our families. Yesterday’s event hosted by @washingtonteachersunion proved it yet again.

The Washington Teachers Union is holding community conversations in all 8 wards, and our room was full of energy. Parents, teachers, and neighbors who don’t even have children in school sat together and talked about education, because it touches every one of us in a different way.

As the Ward 7 Education Chair and a Ward 7 Mom, I was glad to stand alongside WTU President and Ward 7 teacher Laura Fuchs, Councilmember Wendell Felder, SBOE Ward 7 Representative Eboni-Rose Thompson, Ward 7 Democratic Party Chair Tyrell Holcomb. And a shout out to Ward 7 Education Council member, Ward 7 mom and WTU member Lenneil Turner, who was in the room too.

As a mom, I know this to be true: when people come together around education, kids’ lives change and family trajectories change. I’m proud to be part of this movement.

Thank you, President Fuchs and your team, for the thoughtful planning. Including parents and community members in conversations about things like the teacher contract is innovative, and it builds real buy-in. That’s how the union stays strong, for its members and for our kids and families across DC.

🚸 Our crossing guards should not have to risk their lives to get our children safely across the street.

Today, I spoke with Ms. Didi, a longtime crossing guard serving families near KIPP on Benning Road in ANC 7E. She shared that drivers have nearly struck her while she helps students and families cross safely. I have witnessed these dangers firsthand: during arrival and dismissal, cars double park, traffic backs up, and some drivers speed or drive recklessly through the school zone.

I am requesting that DDOT immediately open a formal traffic safety investigation, conduct on-site reviews during arrival and dismissal, and provide the community with a written timeline for corrective action. DDOT should evaluate and implement near-term measures—including additional crossing support, high-visibility signage and markings, daylighting, traffic-calming treatments, and targeted enforcement—and determine whether automated traffic enforcement can be deployed lawfully and quickly.

I am also calling on DDOT, KIPP, Councilmember Wendell Felder, Transportation & Environment Committee Chair Charles Allen, Chairman Phil Mendelson, State Board of Education leadership, families, and crossing guards to convene a coordination meeting before the next school term. The meeting should establish safer arrival and dismissal procedures, including a clear traffic-management plan, designated loading and drop-off areas, enforcement responsibilities, and a public process for tracking progress and resolving hazards.

A school zone should feel like a school zone.

Our children deserve to get to school safely, and our crossing guards deserve to return home safely.

Safer streets. Safer school zones. Safer Ward 7.

Terrific Tuesday! 🙏🏾

I started my morning attending a Prayer Breakfast at the @dcdreamcenter, where I had the opportunity to fellowship with pastors, reverends, bishops, doctors, and faith leaders from across the DMV.

Today’s message focused on grace and favor through the story of King David and Jonathan’s son, Mephibosheth. David chose to extend grace to Mephibosheth, who was physically disabled, restoring land to him, providing people to care for it, and giving him a place at the king’s table.

David didn’t have to extend that grace—but he chose to.

That message spoke to me because God shows me grace every single day. He continues to provide for me, protect me, and cover my boys and me.

Even in this season of unemployment, I am blessed and grateful. I have faith that God will provide the right employment opportunity—one that meets the demands of my life today while helping me build toward my future.

I remind myself often:

“Faith without works is dead. Focus on the work.”

So after breakfast, I put that into practice in another way—I walked from the DC Dream Center to Potomac Avenue Metro to stretch my legs, clear my mind, and get my steps in for the day. 👟

Another day without a car, but another day grateful that I can keep moving with @metroforward. 🚇🚌

Grace. Faith. Gratitude. Work. Forward movement.

Oh marvelous Monday has arrived again. This week is about setting a new morning routine for the #StamperBoys because we are working towards zero tardies and on time attendance! PJ expressed that he wanted to be on time this week and Patrick not to be left out of course wants perfect attendance to earn a dress down day. That means the Stamper Family needs to be walking out of the house on time every weekday morning! As a single mother and educator I know for a fact routine is vital to ensure improved behavior and more regulated children. Plus I am blessed to have before care and after care this school year! *Insert praise dance* #StamperFamily #StamperBoys #StameprOnTheMove #StamperForWard7

It’s the first weekend of October! 🍂🎃

The weather is changing, the Halloween decorations are starting to pop up, and fall is definitely making its way through Ward 7.

This weekend, take a little time to get outside and enjoy our city. Take a walk through the neighborhood. Check out the decorations. Find a free event. Support something local. Spend some time with family, friends, and neighbors—or simply enjoy a little fresh air and a moment to yourself.

There is so much beauty, creativity, and community right here in Ward 7. Sometimes we just have to slow down long enough to enjoy it.

Have a safe and beautiful weekend, Ward 7—and have a great weekend, D.C.! 🍁

Get outside. Be in community. Enjoy the weather. Enjoy our city. And most importantly, be safe. 💛

Finally in my budget! A pedicure! During this week without driving I am celebrating by getting my 2 feet and 10 toes professionally done here in #Ward7 because my main mode of transportation has been @metroforward walking and those darling Veo scooter bikes. Therefore I am patronizing one of our #MinnesotaAve businesses right here in our beloved #ANC7F @mhcdo @minnesotaavene @cmwendellfelder @ward7democrats

Families East of the River have spoken. And when they speak, systems need to listen.

PAVE joined @bhsec_dc, @strongschoolsdc, @dc_charters, @digitalequitydc, @eboni_rosedc, electeddc, @drlajoyjlaw, @ward7ed, and the Ward 8 Education Council to bring over 60 families East of the River together for a conversation around technology in schools.

Their top concern: DIGITAL EQUITY. We know that our city (that should be a state) has inequities between our communities around education – and access to technology in education is no exception.

In a world where our students need to be prepared to enter a workforce where technology is centered more than ever before, this is the first of many conversations that communities, policymakers, and electeds need to have TOGETHER to dig into what is working, what isn’t working, and what families want to see for our future: our children.

⭐Special shoutout to State Board of Education Member @drlajoyjlaw (Ward 8 and PAVE founding Board member) and Ward 8 Educator and Parent Leader @lovelylisahaughton for the idea for the session and for bringing everyone together. ⭐

⭐Thank you to the systems leaders who came out to listen: @brandonbestdc (SBOE Ward 6), @jacque4dc (SBOE At-Large), and @DMEfordc Paul Kihn. ⭐

⭐Shining light on our amazing partners for helping to turn up and turn out for communities having power in the conversation about tech. ⭐

⭐Last but not least, a huge thank you to @bhsec_dc for opening your doors for this critical conversation - your scholars and their service as hosts that night are proof positive of excellent education in action! ⭐
