Texas Voices: Forging belonging: Reflections of a rising leader

Written By Aisha Christa Atkinson

During the autumn months of 2021, I received an acceptance letter to present at Texas Council of Teachers of English Language Arts’ 67th annual conference in Galveston. I vividly remember texting and calling my family and friends to share the amazing news of how a single decision to do something bold led to such a moment. Little did I know that this notification would not only solidify my first state-level presentation, but also serve as the starting point for a transformative leadership journey.
