I have worked alongside Marlon for over seven years. His artistic and charismatic approach to telling his life story and teaching our kids has made him an invaluable asset in my classroom. The empowerment that he cultivates within our kids that THEIR stories can be as powerful and worthy listening to is inspiring to me. The gift of gab when it comes to being vulnerable and wanting others to hear comes easily to Marlon and he passes it on to our kids in ways that I cannot.
