Join Us in Roxbury for a Celebration of Brave Leadership

You’re invited to gather in community as we celebrate the release of The Brave Leaders Playbook — a labor of love, legacy, and lived leadership.

This is not just a book launch.
This is a homecoming.
A dance floor.
A declaration.

Come ready to celebrate bold leadership, brilliant educators, and the transformative spirit of the Michael J. Perkins School community.

What to Expect

✨ Book signing + live reflections
✨ Music + celebration
✨ Community affirmations
✨ Light refreshments
✨ Joy, connection, and maybe a little two-step if the spirit moves

This will be a high-vibration, heart-centered afternoon filled with laughter, storytelling, and gratitude for the educators and leaders who continue to build belonging and brilliance in our schools.

Admission: Free

This is a free community celebration.

However, we warmly encourage each guest to purchase a copy — or two, or ten (smile) — of The Brave Leaders Playbook at the event.

Pre-ordering your copy in advance helps us:
• Ensure we don’t sell out
• Prepare adequate refreshments
• Plan seating and celebration space accordingly

If you’ve already pre-ordered, bring that confirmation energy with you. If not, we’ll have copies available on site.

Call to Action

Reserve your seat today and come celebrate brave leadership in action.

When brave leaders gather, magic multiplies.
