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