I'm Alexis, a growth-obsessed, self-help junkie with the gift of gab. I love cooking, creating cozy spaces, and quality time with good people.

I started teaching in 2012,

determined to make positive lasting impact for students. By 2016, I had burned out twice and I was ready to make a change. 

​

In 2018, I created The AfroEducator in the hopes that I could connect with other educators. I desired community and empathy and that's exactly what I got! 

​

4 years later, I get to empower teacher communities to prioritize themselves & challenge unhealthy narratives.
