Tools for Teachers Who Want Every Girl to Feel Seen

If you’re here, you probably believe what I’ve always believed: Black girls deserve classrooms where they feel seen, heard, and valued. Not talked over. Not misunderstood. Not labeled before anyone even learns their name.

I started my career in an 8th-grade American History classroom, trying to make sure my students — especially the Black girls — felt safe enough to be themselves. Loud enough to speak up. Confident enough to take risks. I saw how easily their spark could dim when the world made quick assumptions about them.

Slay All Day Confidence Academy was created to help you protect that spark.

This space gives you tools you can use right away — in homeroom, in advisory, in after-school clubs, or those quick hallway conversations you remember later.

What You'll Find Here

 

Quick Classroom Prompts

Warm-ups, bell ringers, and mini-reflection questions you can use with zero prep.

 

Printable Posters

Affirmations, leadership messages, and identity-safe language you can put on your walls so the room speaks life into them even when you’re busy grading or running around.

 

Social-Emotional Activities

Short, culturally grounded exercises designed to help girls build confidence, manage emotions, and find their voice.

 

Book Tie-Ins

Simple ways to connect Slay All Day to literacy, writing, history, or social-emotional learning. No formal curriculum required.

 

Conversation Frameworks

Scripts and prompts for handling friend conflict, self-esteem issues, or the moments when a student suddenly shuts down and you need to gently open the door.

Why This Matters in Your Classroom
The data is real. Black girls are disciplined more harshly, labeled “defiant” for behaviors that would be called “leadership” in other students, and overlooked for gifted programs despite strong abilities.

You see it.
You feel it in staff meetings.
You see it in the way some girls pull back, stay quiet, or fold into themselves over time.

This Academy gives you tools to push back — not through lectures or assemblies, but through everyday moments of connection and affirmation.

Because when a Black girl trusts her teacher, everything changes.
Her confidence rises. Her voice shows up. Her brilliance expands.
How to Use This Page
Take the resources. Print them. Share them with your team. Use them for morning meetings, advisory, SEL blocks, after-school groups, or one-on-one check-ins.

Everything here is designed to fit into your real day — the chaotic one, the heavy one, the one where you’re covering two classes and your planning period disappears. Simple, quick, effective.
