Nandi Taylor

Founder

Nandi (she/hers) has been teaching at Turner Elementary school in DCPS for the past 5  years, but is very excited to make the transition into teaching in DC Jail. The recent injustices in the black community inspired her to create a space where educators can talk about culturally responsive reform in our schools. She is currently developing the Black Students Needs Fund and planning fundraising events.
