You are raising future (and current) leaders! How does Nia House impact this task?

The current climate based on following, being liked, and fitting in is trending. While knowing and loving oneself as an individual and within your community with clarity, compassion, and confidence is not in the forefront of social media’s mission, it definitely is at Nia House. The experiences and skills gained at Nia House have proven to provide my two budding leaders with multiple ways to navigate their environment and connect with their community in an incredibly positive way.

What inspires your leadership at Nia House?

I strongly believe in Nia House’s mission to bring together children of diverse backgrounds and I want to help it to operate in accordance with that mission and ensure its sustainability. My son Stephen attended Nia House from 2016 until 2021 when he headed to first grade. Nia House holds a special place in our hearts and I love the opportunity to serve this community.

As a passionate advocate for holistic education and equity, I continue to serve on the Nia House Board as a parent representative. With expertise in business management, finance, and innovative thinking, I challenge the status quo and explore how education can empower and shape our children's lives.
