Hello everyone! I updated my YouTube Banner based on the advice from Alexa in her Day 3 video. My banner was pretty bland before today. I would link some other opinions. Is it professional? Is the purpose of my channel clear? I am a math teacher and I create videos on lessons and advice/tips for math for students. It is also geared towards parents so they can help their child at home. Also, I am aiming for a clean and welcoming look. I did not have a face picture shown before so that is new as well. What are your thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/@ShekinahMathCenter

Hello everyone, My name is Shekinah. I am a middle school math teacher. I create videos on lessons for elementary and middle school math topics. The video lessons are good for students, parents of young children who need a refresher so they can help their child, and teachers - as they can also benefit from using strategies shown in the videos.

I'm a small channel with 12 subs and 9 videos. This morning one of my videos reached 75 views! The most so far. It may not seem like much to most, but it made me smile. This video is my absolute favorite because the place is so special to me. The video was about chasing the Michigan sunrise.

Before we rush into the next goal, the next upload, the next milestone—let’s pause for a moment. Gratitude for how far you’ve already come. Gratitude for every viewer and subscriber who chose to spend their time with you. Gratitude for YouTube being a free platform where we get to share our thoughts, skills, experiences, and stories—without permission, gatekeepers, or limits. It’s easy to normalize this. But zoom out for a second. We’re living in a time where we can connect with brilliant minds all over the world instantly. Learn from each other. Teach. Build. Create impact from our living rooms. That’s not small. That’s extraordinary. Today, just take a breath and acknowledge it.You’re not behind. You’re participating in something incredibly rare—and powerful. Grateful for this space. Grateful for this community. Grateful for you all and wishing you a happy holiday season.🤍
