Cosplay to Inspire
Okay so what I love about working with kids as a teacher and speaker is the excuse to play dress up – I’m no where near a regular but here are a few of my cosplay adventures and the inspiration behind them which are awesome stories that inspire my work:
I love learning & shows that inspire kids to explore creation! Here’s me as Keesha from The #MagicSchoolBus Rides Again on Netflix (anyone else love that show growing up?) We were meant to take time to play and have fun as part of our work (I even did research on the benefits of play in grad school) – whether it’s sports, art or cosplay take time to do something that engages your creativity & brings you joy!?
I went investigating the candy situation at The Potter’s House Harvest Time event (don’t judge me – it was for the whole family??) as The Princess in Black – inspired by both the GOAT MIB Will Smith and kids’ books characters which I love as a teacher & current kids’ writer!
.
(Check out this series The Princess In Black about unconventional mystery solving royalty by Shannon & Dean Hale and the Dream Big! More Than a Princess Coloring Book. Each page of the coloring book features a girl sharing her dream of becoming a professional, like a politician, astronaut or a community organizer. Stephanie Tabashneck, psychologist and author of the book, created it because she was concerned with the lack of role models, characters and positive messages for young girls and in particular young girls of color).
.
If you don’t remember anything else remember to dream big and live boldly because You Are Great! You are royally loved by the King and have the light to fight darkness so go kick some butt. Agent J out?

Wonder the Movie Inspires Us to Choose Kindness
I so can’t wait to see the new movie Wonder starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Jacob Tremblay! The movie’s based on a great best-selling novel by R.J. Palacio and will warm your heart and inspire you to be yourself and be kind to others. Watch the trailer and visit www.wonder.movie to find out more.
Based on the New York Times bestseller, WONDER tells the inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman. Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie’s extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
