Urban Legends Professional Development Logo

Empowering educators and leaders to
change the narrative of
urban education through
storytelling and relationship building
so that together we can achieve
REAL equity.


It's time to uncover our needs and those of our students,
to create an environment that fosters

belonging, learning, and unity for all.
