Civic Love Development Welcomes You
Civic Love, as expressed by James Baldwin
Our Origin Story
While collecting my doctoral research, I was introduced to James Baldwin's civic love, the prolific writer, author, speaker, and civil rights activist. With civic education, civic love has many similar meanings. It embodies a love for others and oneself that results in "being changed and a risking of change" (Fantuzzo, 2018, p. 388). This love relates to personal relationships, connections, and the striving for a fair community. Essentially, civic love is synonymous with brotherly love, as James Baldwin called it (Fantuzzo, 2018). To me, civic love looks like educators wanting to risk change for their students, teachers, or school's betterment and for students to want to risk change for the betterment of their future.

My Why
So That Others May Learn
Since 2003, I've been educating students from grades K -12. For the past seven years, I have provided instructional coaching to teachers in the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) system, specifically in Social Studies Education. My motto has always been "so that others may learn." Since the summer of 2023, I have officially been providing professional consulting services to clients from the District of Columbia. I hope to expand my services beyond Washington, DC. From strategic planning to innovative solutions, I always focus on building an efficient and results-driven relationship. I'll work with you to create a customized action plan for yourself or your organization. In addition, I aim to provide tutoring services for students to empower them to add to their skills toolbox.
