My dad is locked up, my older brother is locked up, and my cousin is locked up. I might as well be locked up too. All my teachers be tripping on me. When I tell them I don’t understand something, they just give me another worksheet. I know my teachers are tired because I can tell it in their voice. The deputy just left out of the room with my homeboy. But I’m actually trying to understand this so I can pass this class. I’m my family’s only hope to get us out of the hood. So they put a lot of pressure on me so I can help pay the rent. I feel like I can’t breathe with all of this pressure I’m feeling.

Bianca left the classroom as a teacher to speak on issues impacting Title I schools in Florida. Bianca created an organization Teaching for the Culture. TFTC is a movement to spark positive change within our educational system inside and out of the system. Our students deserve to have a voice and with us, they now have one!
