It wasn't an Emmy winning performance, but I had fun with the rap portion of A Little Girl in a Big, Big World written by @dcpublicschools students, Daijha Cain, Ashely Cooper, and Makayla Harris. What do you think?

I had a fun day reading to students of @garrisonelementarydc for the 100th Anniversary of #NationalChildrensBookWeek. Thank you @everybodywinsdc for the invitation and book recommendation. I now have a new read for my daughters, A Little Girl in a Big, Big World.

@Checkitenterprises_ used to be the Check-It gang. They went from fighting in our streets to fighting for our communities and developing a clothing boutique. Now their building is for sale, and I’m tired of seeing local businesses displaced while we throw money at outside companies. ‪So, I wrote a bill to help these young people who turned their lives around buy the building that is their headquarters, a community hub, an education center, a support services center & an incubation center for local businesses. We have to invest in our residents and businesses‬. Thank you @cm_mcduffie for holding this hearing.

The Committee of the Whole and the Education Committee held a hearing on my Financial Literacy Education in Schools Act. The bill creates a financial literacy course for 11th- and 12th-grade students. Too many students are learning through mistakes when we could prepare them for life‬.
