She holds a Bachelors of Education Degree from SUNY New Paltz, where she developed a love for creative writing, and Masters Degree in Education from Mount Saint Mary College. As a visionary and educator for over three decades, she has created a myriad of learning environments wherein students learn acceptance as opposed to tolerance. Unabashedly an African American Muslim woman, Fonda Kitt is walking proof that being different is something to be proud of. She is a three time nominee and recipient of Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers. During her tenure as a distinguished English Language Arts educator, she was honored with several teacher of the year awards, for which she was nominated by students and colleagues for her unique and engaging style of reaching students.
In her school district, Fonda was the first African American Muslim teacher with whom most families had the opportunity to work. Fonda’s vibrancy and her love of life continues to be a breath of fresh air. She has a wealth of knowledge relevant to the African American and Muslim experience, which gives her a unique voice in the area of telling this particular story. In addition, she is the Founder and Artistic Director of Leaders by Choice, a non profit organization providing a caring and inspiring environment, which fosters leadership skills through the arts. Through LBC, she has written and directed productions centering around learning and acceptance for thirty five years.
Fonda continues to be inspired by her loving husband, children, and grandchildren.view less
