The purpose of this course is to investigate the cultural beginnings and civilizations of Africa, and to show the struggles and successes of the African experience as they were forcibly taken to the Americas, then having to acclimate to Western culture to gain rights through a variety of ways from the bondages slavery to the movement to decriminalize black life and to show their triumphs from the 19th century to the 21st century.

About me
I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY, and graduated from Lincoln University (PA) with a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Pan-Africana Studies. I began my journey in education as a proud City Year member, where my love for teaching and learning truly took root. From there, I served as a building substitute teacher and classroom assistant, experiences that shaped my path and deepened my commitment to students.
Now, I have the honor and privilege of teaching Africana Studies. I am passionate about pouring knowledge into my students, sparking curiosity, and opening doors to new possibilities. My goal is to create a classroom where learning is engaging, meaningful, and fun. I look forward to building community, exploring history and culture, and learning alongside my students every day.
