All those letters and drawings from students reminded me of my days as a former teacher. I still have some of those, after more years than I want to remember.

I'm not sure what a dm is. I'll look into it. I was getting a gazillion emails so I shut some stuff down. Hopefully not the dm.

You had me at 'didn’t wear a blazer.' I hate wearing that stuff in 2025 lol

Honestly, the world needs more teachers who teach like humans, not LinkedIn headshots. Keep doing the uncool thing Urmila.

You make it look incredible.

Not many people can work with me, and I’m happier for it. By curating my clients, I don’t have to pretend to be some prissy corporate type. The good news is I’m pretty much the same person online as I am in real life, lol.

Just in your face 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Thursday evening Urmila.
