Are you a parent in need of a middle school whisperer? As a young Black girl, I experienced the most challenging times in middle school. My academics were overwhelming, my body fought against me and I lived in constant fear of being bullied about my weight. While I struggled to find my crowd among my peers, trusted adults served as bright lights for me. They helped me navigate the terrain, solve peer conflict and increase my overall self-esteem. I aim to emulate that same glimmer of bright light that I was gifted in middle school. My primary goal is to help middle-school-aged children adjust to the revolving door of challenges they may be facing. I additionally work to assist parents with managing sudden changes in the child's mood, behaviors and interactions. Although your child may be juggling multiple challenges, they are still in there. They only need permission to soar. Let's work together to help your middle schooler rise in the face of adversity.
