📚💛 Happy Teachers Appreciation Week! 💛📚

Another educator and changemaker who is helping create more thoughtful, inclusive, and compassionate communities is Dr. Megan Pamela Ruth Madison.

Dr. Madison is a Black feminist scholar-activist, educator, organizer, and author whose work centers justice, truth, and accessible learning for all ages. Through her writing and advocacy, she helps families, educators, and young readers engage in meaningful conversations about identity, community, and social change. ✨

Her political homes include Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, Authors Against Book Bans, Aunties and Friends for Liberation and us, at Public School Strong!

📖 Alongside Jessica Ralli, Dr. Madison co-created the award-winning First Conversations series — nonfiction board books that help young children and their grownups explore topics like race, gender, consent, love, bodies, grief, justice, and disability in accessible and empowering ways.

💡 The series continues to spark important conversations and has sold more than 260,000 copies despite ongoing efforts to ban books and limit honest education.

👏 During Teachers Appreciation Week, we celebrate educators and authors like Dr. Madison who encourage curiosity, courage, empathy, and truth-telling in every generation.
