As a mother, I am passionate about reimagining educational spaces for young people. I co-created Freedom Kilombo, a Black-centered homeschooling collective in Wisconsin and spent six years homeschooling in the U.S. and abroad. I am dedicated to supporting young people and their families in education, whether at school, home, or in community. I am committed to equity in education. I champion practices that center the experiences of marginalized people. My service on family-engagement teams has been instrumental to my learning how to effectively communicate, collaborate, and advocate with other families, community members, school staff, and district leaders.
