Scholars of Color- Christina Armstrong-Smith
What is Scholars of Color?
It is a platform in which scholars of color are purposefully celebrated. It’s a space where scholars of color are showcased front and center. It is a digital space where we feel empowered and resilient. Let us get to know each other. Let us cheer each other on AND show the world what we have to offer.
Let us now welcome Christina Armstrong-Smith to the Scholars of Color space!
Name: Christina Armstrong-Smith
What do you currently do for work and/or school?: Project Manager
Without positions or titles, how would you describe yourself?: I am a positive spirit inhabiting a priceless vessel.
What are you passionate about?: Supporting people as they work to get the things they want in life without having to compromise their health or relationships.
Why is the representation of scholars of color important to you?: Our stories are so powerful. There is power in gathering in community. There is power in feeling supported by others who share your values. There is power in validation from learning your experiences are not always unique to you and that you don't have to navigate challenges alone. I share my story to empower others.
If people are interested in getting connected to you, how can they?: Instagram: OrganizingHigher; Twitter: OrganizeHigher; YouTube Channel: Organizing Higher
Anything else you would like us to know?: I am a full time mom raising a child on my own while working a full time job. I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Once I committed to strengthening my organization and productivity systems, I gained so much more freedom and control. Reach out to me if you want to experience this freedom by becoming more productive and organized.
Thank you Christina for sharing space with us!
