Affiliations & Initiatives
I’m proud to lead and contribute to a range of initiatives that reflect my commitment to education, leadership, and service. Each organization and program I’m affiliated with was built to uplift others, close equity gaps, and empower communities to thrive.
LIFE3 Academy Charter School
LIFE3 Academy is proudly located on the historic grounds of St. Jude Educational Institute—a landmark of resilience, established in 1946 to provide educational equality to the African American community. During the Selma to Montgomery March in 1965, St. Jude served as a place of refuge and renewal for civil rights leaders.
With that same spirit, LIFE3 Academy continues the work of restoration and empowerment. We provide a high-quality K–6 education that blends academic excellence with character development and community engagement. Through our innovative programs and dedicated faculty, we are shaping scholars who are confident, capable, and ready to lead.
