This year for my 30th birthday I decided to start a scholarship fund for some of my past @GirlsWhoCode students who are starting college in a few weeks.
This week I am matching ALL donations, with no limit!! Plz RT if you can 🙏 💙

Every #MLKDay, when you are quoting "I had a dream," remember how they treated #MLK for his dream.
When telling "Dr. King was successful because he was peaceful," stories, remember that he suffered dearly for the racial justice advances he achieved.
