This Thanksgiving, we at Maya Angelou Schools and See Forever Foundation reflect on the power of gratitude, resilience, and the strength of our community. Maya Angelou believed deeply in the importance of giving, lifting others up, and recognizing the beauty in every challenge and triumph. As she once said: "When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed." We are grateful for our scholars, educators, families, and supporters, who make our mission possible every day. Your dedication and belief in the transformative power of education inspire us to continue creating opportunities for opportunity and justice-involved youth to not just succeed—but to thrive. As we gather in gratitude, let us also remember the importance of community, service, and kindness—values that define both Maya Angelou’s legacy and the work we do every day. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡 #Thanksgiving2025 #Gratitude #MayaAngelouSchools #SeeForeverFoundation #CommunityAndEducation #GivingAndGrowing

We are excited to share that the From Silos to Solutions Convening will now take place on April 1–3, 2026 in Washington, D.C. This change comes after deep conversations with our Steering Committee, Leadership Team, and community members. Our decision reflects a commitment to prioritize the safety, access, and full participation of every guest. We know that this Convening is strongest when all voices are represented, and we are determined to create the space for that to happen. We are proud to confirm that Dr. Bettina Love will join us as keynote speaker in the spring. Dr. Love’s scholarship and activism remind us that the fight for justice in education and community spaces requires courage, clarity, and collective power. Between now and April, we will host two free Roundtables and launch a new Youth Advocacy Committee to keep momentum alive and ensure that opportunity- and justice-involved youth remain at the center of this work. To learn more, stay connected with us here and at https://lnkd.in/eA7ApFtu. Together, we will continue to build partnerships that move us closer to equity and justice. #FS2S2026 #PowerThroughPartnerships #EducationJustice #YouthAdvocacy #MayaAngelouSchools #SeeForeverFoundation

At the Maya Angelou Schools and See Forever Foundation, we know that kindness has the power to transform lives. Whether it’s a smile, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement, acts of kindness help build the trusting, respectful, and nurturing relationships that are the foundation of our community.

On this World Kindness Day, let us all commit to spreading compassion, understanding, and positivity, making a difference in the lives of those around us. #WorldKindnessDay #BeARainbow #MayaAngelou #KindnessMatters #MayaAngelouSchools #SeeForeverFoundation
