as we know it. I want to foster and cultivate spaces that encourage educational exploration. ... I watch my students bloom, and I hear them fall in love with themselves, and I see them eager to continue to find those small wins that build confidence." Glover sees those same attributes in adults. "It's affirming to know my presence, my power and my gift can be used to inspire others to continue to heal themselves," she said. "at is where they begin to build confidence, and that's the greatest affirmation." Looking ahead, Glover plans to complete a doctoral degree in performance psychology with a concentration in sensory and therapeutic design. Her goal is to transition her love of counseling and design to create therapeutic spaces that foster healing and learning. In the short-term future, Glover plans to relocate her I AM Developing Company office space to a larger, classroom-style center where she can host bi-monthly classes. Eventually, she'd like to serve as a lead psychologist, teaching at the university level, and hopes to publish work that supports the environment in which the community lives. "I want to change the way we design public school spaces and underserved communities," Glover said. "As we are reimagining reparations for communities, I would like to lead policy changes, city planning and civic engagement. I hope to serve my community in a political capacity that continues to demand equity and build a legacy of service." With the current national climate engaged in a shift, Glover serves as an educator for those willing to learn and, most importantly, an educator who works with individuals who are ready to confront themselves and how they show up in the world. "My company is a flagship for engaging in conversations that are dominating the news cycle, while providing research-based action plans for individuals, groups and organizations," she said. "Now is the time we confront our truths so we can make peace with our past and do the impossible in the future."
