On Day 1 | June 25, we celebrate Dr. Thelma Thomas Daley, a trailblazer who broke racial barriers as president of both the American Counseling Association and the American School Counselor Association, paving the way for every Black woman who came after her in this field.

A Living Civil Rights Legend. A counselor. An educator. An activist. A builder. 🙌🏾

Dr. Daley didn’t just walk through doors, she opened them for all of us. And tonight, we honor her for it. ✨

We are honoring a legend.

On Day 1 | June 25, we are proud to celebrate Dr. Beverly J. O’Bryant at our Honoree Dinner, a pioneering leader who has dedicated her life to building school counseling as a civil rights commitment.

Former President of both the American Counseling Association and the American School Counselor Association, Dr. O’Bryant’s legacy spans over 33 years of service in DC Public Schools, groundbreaking scholarship, and a career that has shaped the field we stand in today. 🙌🏾

This is our moment to honor the architect. ✨

To those preparing to become school counselors and those already serving — what kind of impact do you hope to have on the students and communities you work with? 🖤💛

Beyond programs, lessons, and interventions, school counseling is about connection and long-term influence.

What does meaningful impact look like to you in this profession?

06/01/2026

Representation matters. 🖤💛

For many students, feeling seen starts with seeing someone they can relate to, trust, and feel safe with.

Sometimes, simply knowing “someone like me understands me” can make all the difference.

School counseling is about connection — and representation helps create spaces where students feel heard, valued, and supported.

54% of school counselors say compliance-related tasks reduce their time with students.

The challenge isn’t just the workload — it’s the time taken away from meaningful student support.

Because every hour spent on paperwork is time not spent listening, guiding, and helping students grow.

UJIMA is preparing future school counselors to navigate these challenges while staying focused on what matters most — students. 🖤💛

Representing the future of school counseling with purpose and professionalism. 🖤💛

Dedicated to learning, growing, and preparing to support students with care and intention.

05/24/2026

School counseling is more than a “day in the life” — it’s a role that goes far beyond the office. 🖤💛

It’s the big responsibilities people see… and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed but matter just as much.

The conversations, the consistency, the care — that’s where the real impact happens.

Whether you’re new to the field or deep in it already, this is your reminder: the work is heavy, meaningful, and you matter in it.
