About this Event
Join us for an evening inspired by the heart and truths of the 1989 film Lean on Me. Lean on Us is an intentional gathering for conversation focusing on reflection, healing, and the power of community when it comes to education.
This experience is for the educators doing the work, the students navigating expectations, the parents trying to stay present, and advocates who show up even when the system doesn’t.
We’ll come together to unpack what it means to hold space, to honor what is being carried, and to explore what healing can look like when we stop pretending everything’s okay.
This evening includes:
📽️ A conversation inspired by Lean on Me
🗣️ A panel featuring educators, counselors, and advocates
🫱🏽🫲🏾 Connection, care, and good company
