I am an Oak Cliff girl born on Tax Day in the year of this country’s bicentennial. I’ve got East Texas roots and a proud Powe heritage. I was raised by my mother, brother, and DISD as a student of Birdie, Hulcy, and Lincoln. I received my formal education at Texas Christian University, Lynn University, and the University of North Texas at Dallas earning a bachelor's and two master's degrees. I loved raising my one and only son who is now a man.
I had the privilege of working in the capacity of school leadership for 25 years. I have effectively succeeded at the mountain tops of higher learning at Mountain View College, Navarro College, Cedar Valley College, and the University of Texas at Austin as dual credit/enrollment counselor and currently at Tarrant County College as an adjunct professor. My life’s journey has taken me to extraordinary places—Texas, Indiana, and Florida—and has allowed me to accomplish extraordinary feats with students and community and I am so honored to arrive at my next destination—Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy.
A wise person said, “Positive leaders empower people to accomplish their goals.” John Maxwell notes that, “There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them”... I remember the inception of Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy and its regal and esteemed glory and legacy. This campus is none like any other, and I take on the challenge and responsibility in serving the brothers and “develop[ing] young men into impactful leaders...for the global society of tomorrow” as your lead counselor.
Believe. Achieve. Succeed.
