ABOUT ZAKIA

I am an educator with a passion for lifelong growth and learning and I aim to use my knowledge and experience I have acquired to improve the world around me.

I’ve always been fascinated with people and cultures which led me to pursue academic studies centered on those subjects. 

I hold degrees from Florida A&M University (B.A.), Columbia University (Ed.M.), and Fordham University (M.A. and Ph.D.) in International Educational Development, Philosophy and Religious Studies and have served in various capacities at higher education institutions, social justice, political and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the U.S. and abroad. 

I am on a journey of continued self-improvement, and my goal is to  guide others on their journeys as well. I am committed to improving the human condition and motivating individuals to move beyond adverse circumstances by creating solutions in their lives. My mission is to help people embrace their personal freedom, develop their talents, and actualize their unique potential so they can live fulfilled lives.
