“One thing I really appreciated about Jey during the years we worked together was their eagerness to hone untapped skills. They first collaborated with our team as a writer who’d also been an educator and officially joined us to lead a grants program for educators. Even as they mastered their skills building partnerships and coordinating projects, they continued to grow as writer—and a powerful one at that. Jey’s multi-layered skill set would a great addition to a hiring mission-driven team!”
Monita K. Bell

“I’m so grateful to have met Jey and connect with them over the past couple of years. They brought our group together during a fraught time to be working towards social justice and the connection, learning, and inspiration they facilitate (over email, over Zoom, over ice cream) offered me such hope and a real sense of solidarity in this work.”
Veronica Scott, educator
