Denisha Allen has some wisdom to share.
As a leader at the frontlines of education reform, and as a new mother, Denisha has a lot invested in the future of our country. Her path from at-risk student to education policy wonk is full of wisdom for parents. After all, we want our kids to succeed regardless of their circumstances, and Denisha has done exactly that.
Denisha founded an organization to tackle our dysfunctional education system head on. It’s called Black Minds Matter and it’s a non-profit dedicated to promoting access to high-quality school options for black students. She’s also a Senior Fellow at the American Federation for Children, and previously served as School Choice and Youth Liaison at the U.S. Department of Education. She is a powerful voice for change because she knows the failures of our education system firsthand.
