Myia Clarisse Williams, M.A.Ed. serves as the Director of Curriculum and Instruction for the Umoja Community Education Foundation.

Myia has worked to advance Black students' success in a variety of settings. From the playground to the lecture hall; from Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors classes to Special Education classrooms for neurodivergent or Emotionally Disturbed (ED) populations; from after-school programs to first-year graduate students, Myia C. Williams continues to explore the needs around Black student education while working to raise levels of understanding, intentionality, and accountability amongst educators, families, and students. Operating within the paradigm of African-centered education, Ms. Williams helps educators to identify ways they can authentically practice pedagogies that are culturally relevant, unifying, and self-affirming.
