The Stories We Wear
“Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story.” – Mason Cooley
Every day, we choose what story to tell through our words, actions, and even our presence. What we wear can be a reflection of who we are, what we value, and how we want to show up in the world. In education and leadership, our “costumes” go beyond fabric. They include the roles we take on, the confidence we carry, and the authenticity we bring to every interaction.
Uniforms, badges, and titles may make a statement, but the stories behind them (the why, the heart, the purpose) are what people remember. When we show up as our whole selves, we invite others to do the same.
Take a moment to reflect today: What story are you telling through how you show up? Is it one of confidence, curiosity, kindness, or courage? Choose intentionally because the world is always reading.
