About the Author
Hi I'm Channing, transformative wellness education practitioner. I help students develop a new perspective on the world around them, and to re-evaluate their values, beliefs, and assumptions through transformative learning.
I'm a Mother of three, author and educator. I have a bachelors of Science in Speech Language Pathology and Master's level educational background in School Psychology and Educational Counseling with an emphasis in culturally responsive trauma informed care and restorative justice practices. With 8 years of classroom teacher experience in middle and high school and a wealth of parenting experience from my own three children; I use my experiential knowledge gained from serving Black students and students of color and parenting my own children to guide and inform my creative process in the edu-cultural sphere.
I also have a soft spot for social justice with a Black focus, and have organized and partaken in countless local community efforts serving, improving, elevating and advocating for the lives and rights of my community members. I also created and lead Black Lives Yoga, a National effort to highlight and prioritize mental health and Self-care in the movement for Black Lives through Yoga lead by Black Women .
I am blessed that my passion and purpose align and have afforded me the opportunity to serve students as an independent contractor for Juvenile Court Community Schools where I currently facilitate Transformative Circles with The Marathon Mantras.
Contact me at TheMarathonMantras@gmail.com for information about bringing my Transformative Circles or Curriculum to your educational setting.
