What Teachers & Social Workers Are Saying...
Richard Kerry Thompson | Greater Heights Academy
Superintendent/Principal
"I have known Mrs. Semaj Brown for two years now and have had the honor of being part of her outreach to scholars in the amazing experience of the Black Dandelion. Mrs. Brown created an opportunity for our Scholars to not only be part of her program but also to change their lives for the better as they experienced firsthand the passion, dedication, and exemplary teaching she bestowed on our Scholars as they journeyed through her program.
Our Scholars learned how to delve into the written prose and create poems connected to their life, beliefs, and experiences. Mrs. Brown empowered our Scholars to go beyond their fears to freedom in public speaking! This year the program concluded with an amazing opportunity to partner with the Flint Institute of Arts for a two-session educational and artistic workshop and the final presentation."
This work is dedicated to the memory of
Elner Bailey Taylor.
