Learning With Lissa

🎓💄 I wasn’t even going to post this… but hey, why not? 🤷🏽‍♀️ It’s still content! Here’s a super quick 15 minute makeup look I threw on for my grad + professional pics. I didn’t end up buying the photos for a few reasons: 1️⃣ The hood color was wrong (Education majors should’ve been in blue 🎓💙) 2️⃣ My makeup was cute & simple but if you really know me, then you know I would’ve SERVED a more polished, professional slay if I had more time 😩✨ 3️⃣ With work + grad school wrapping up, my wallet was getting hit from every angle and I just couldn’t justify buying pics I wasn’t feeling 100% about 🙃 Still… it’s a moment, and it’s part of the story 🫶🏽 So here it is! Would you have still bought the pics or nah? Let’s talk about it 👀👇🏽 #LissasMakeup #GradSeason #QuickMakeup #MakeupOnTheGo #15MinuteBeat #GraduationPhotos #ContentIsContent #MakeupReel #SoftGlam #BlackGradMagic #EndOfSemesterVibes #RealLifeMoments #SimpleGlam #BeautyAndBalance

And just like that… SY 24–25 is a wrap! 🎓📚 Whew 😰 what a ride! I definitely didn’t post as much as I planned to this year, but between finishing grad school, stepping into leadership roles, and prepping for the next big chapter (hello, doctorate life 👩🏽‍🎓✨), hitting “record” just didn’t always make the list. Still, it was a year full of growth, challenges, wins, and unforgettable moments with my students. As summer unfolds, I’ll be sharing a few highlights (and maybe a few lessons learned too). Here’s to resting, resetting, and coming back even more aligned and inspired for SY 25–26! 💫 Teachers (and anyone who had a year), how are you recharging this summer? ☀️💆🏽‍♀️ #LearningwithLissa #TeacherLife #EndOfSchoolYear #GradSchoolJourney #FutureDoctorate #ReflectAndReset #BlackEducators #SummerBreakVibes #SY2425 #SY2526Loading #TeacherInspiration #GrowthMindset

Every morning, I update the board—whether they read it or not! 📖✨ It’s about consistency, accountability, and doing what’s right. Teachers, what’s one routine you never skip? 🍎✏️ #TeacherLife #MorningRoutine #ClassroomHabits #LeadingByExample #TeachAndInspire

As an Afro Latina language teacher working with Black and Brown children in underserved communities, the results of this election will deeply impact my students and my career. Policies around education funding, bilingual programs, and inclusivity will directly shape the opportunities available to my kids. Their futures depend on how we prioritize equitable access to quality education. If the wrong policies are continuously being put in place, it will continue to mean that fewer resources and less support for the communities that need it most. I’m committed to advocating for my students, no matter the outcome, because their success is my success. This election isn’t just about who wins—it’s really about who gets left behind.” . . . #LearningwithLissa #AfroLatinaTeacher #ElectionImpact #EducationForAll #BilingualEducation #EquityInEducation #TeachTheFuture #Weneedachangeineducation

Everyday should be teacher day….. Happy world teacher day to all teachers in and outside the classroom #learningwithlissa #teacherpersonality #teacherday #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #reels #explorepage

As a teacher I truly enjoy my job and the interaction. I love listening to my students talk, however when it’s time to go home, I need to ride in silence. Sincerely a teacher who’s not an extrovert 🤗 #learningwithlissa #teacherlife🍎 #momentofsilenceforteacherseverywhere #ambivert #teacherpersonality
