Ms. Celina isn’t your average educator.

She teaches both hybrid and fully virtual STEAM classes at the Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy, an all-girls public charter school located in the Bedford-Stuyvesent neighborhood. With a mission to empower each young woman to be the best version of herself, BELA provides a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, service learning initiatives, and a commitment to cultivating a spirit of ownership within each young woman.

Having students both in-classroom and online, Ms. Celina keeps her 9th grade classes focused using a variety of ed-tech tools including Wacom Intuos tablets and Pear Deck.

When our inner critic arises, it’s difficult not hear it 😭

Sometimes our internal voice criticizes, judges and makes us doubt of our work telling us that we are not good enough. It happens to all of us!

But it’s all in our heads, trust the progress you’ve made so far and don’t give up!

Have you ever felt this way? 👇
