Halle Berry’s Home Makeover for 5th Grade Teacher Reminds Us of That One Teacher We Would Die For
No action of ours can express enough gratitude towards our great teachers and mentors. They are the only guiding light that helps us get through the wild realities of life. We can only imagine doing all that we can to put forth how thankful we are, but somehow we hardly execute our thoughts. Indian mythological texts narrate the story of Eklavya chopping his thumb to thank his great-great teacher Dronacharya. Such students are hard to find, however, we have got you a great example of one – Halle Berry.

They designed the hell out of this home! It exudes so much class & style, fitting of a beautiful teacher & her Oscar winning student @halleberry. It's sophisticated but not fussy. Stylish, but functional. This was a great episode, all I needed to see was @vanhunt

Chiiillleee, Halle Berry had the Property Brothers renovate her childhood teacher's house, and y'all know how I feel about educators, so I was NO GOOD! They even had some of her former students pop up and surprise her. They gave this beautiful Black woman her flowers, okay??!

Teachers are so pivotal in the lives of their students. They should be paid more money. I’m glad Halle Berry is doing this for her former teacher. ❤️#celebrityiou
