Equity in Action helps schools, families, and communities close math achievement gaps and build real financial freedom — teaching the next generation to be producers, not just consumers.
I'm a mathematics educator who uses financial literacy to engage students and equip them with real-life skills that reach far beyond the classroom. My mission is simple: help people build confidence, gain financial freedom, and close the gaps that hold our communities back.
My work sits where Black students rarely get all three at once — rigorous math, money knowledge, and culturally affirming, healing-centered instruction. The results speak for themselves: record-breaking math gains and families who finally feel equipped to advocate for their children.
Practical, culturally relevant programming for schools, districts, families, and organizations.
Black economic empowerment and community uplift rooted in Dr. Claud Anderson's framework.
Budgeting, credit, saving, investing, and wealth-building for students, parents, and churches.
K–12 curriculum that blends rigorous math instruction with real-world financial literacy.
Support for teachers, parents, tutors, and administrators to close learning gaps.
Districtwide training on equitable math instruction and financial literacy integration.
Helping families advocate for their kids and understand public education policy.
Wherever math and money meet opportunity.
