Communication is essential to all relationships, and the teaching and learning of mathematics is no exception. In this talk, I will share reflections and experiences that highlight how communication shapes my relationships with students, colleagues, mathematics itself, and even with myself as an instructor. Through these perspectives, I aim to explore how intentional, clear, and inclusive communication can transform mathematical learning environments and foster deeper engagement.
