We had the honor of “Conversations with…” two amazing and strong women today.
In the morning, Cheryl Waters-Hassan, a long time educator in the Baltimore area came in to share with the students about her life and learn more about the school and the students.
Then in the afternoon, Margaret Murphy returned to the school to share her Emmy award winning documentary on Anne Morrow Lindbergh. After watching it, she reflected on her experiences with Ms. Lindbergh and with making the documentary.
We are fortunate to have the example and wisdom of these elders and so many more that generously share their time with us.

Music was in the air as hip hop artist Imani Yasin was in the school today for a “Conversation with…”  Imani shared her music with the students and there was a lively discussion about the songs, productions and the imagery created when listening to them. In addition to her musical passions and career, Imani has been engaged in community work that has taken her to South Africa though most of it has been in her hometown of Baltimore.  She inspired the students as Imani shared about her education and career journey. Imani has been a friend of the school for many years and it’s always a treat to have her back at the school.  https://www.imaniyasin.com/

Hector Rivas, a first year student at The Community School received this message from Baltimore Center Stage today:

Your play, The Mirror into the Past, has been selected for the 2022/2023 Young Playwrights Festival. Your piece truly envelopes this year’s “The Looking Glass” theme! It was chosen from a group of 124 submissions from all over the state of Maryland, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring your work to life at our Young Playwrights Festival on Saturday May 20, 2023.

We are so proud of Hector for this achievement and can’t wait to see his work performed at Center Stage. Special thanks to Joe Carlson for his mentorship of the class on this project and to Center Stage for making all of this possible.

We were honored today to have a “Conversation with…” the Jobita family – Margaret, Penina and Rita. They are the grandmother, aunt and mother of student Ethan Jobita Jemadari. His Grandmother is visiting from Kenya where she devoted her life to working in public administration assisting local governments and programs to help the people. Ms. Margaret shared experiences from her birth in a small village on Lake Victoria to growing up around the country and region. She also talked about her extraordinary work with the United Nations and her world travels.
Ethan’s mom, Rita, and aunt, Penina, now live in Baltimore and shared their experiences as African immigrants to this country. The discussion included breaking myths about Africa and looking at local, regional and global issues both here and abroad.
We all deeply enjoyed the conversation as well as the lunch they brought in prior to the conversation and the carvings they gave to the students from their motherland. We are very grateful to have the Jobitas in our school community.

The students were honored to have a “Conversation with…” leaders from the Baltimore County Office of the Public Defender. Jessica Bancroft, District Court Supervisor; Gayle Robinson, Deputy District Public Defender; and Layne Pierre, Circuit Court Supervisor, joined the students for a lively conversation. The discussion ranged from each of their personal life journeys to questions about the legal system.

Of particular interest to the students were inequities in the legal system and the mission of the Public Defenders Office to represent all of their clients and make a strong case on their behalf despite personal feelings about the alleged crimes.
We deeply appreciate the generous sharing of time from these often overworked public employees.
