Adult Training Workshop Team
Children's Programming Team

Hi, I'm Jamila. I am a certified learning & development specialist, facilitator, youth advocate and mother.
Blending my deep expertise and skills from 20+ years in corporate Marketing and Training, along with my lifelong personal passion work in youth advocacy, I now help families, educators and organizations build the brain skills nobody taught us, through practical, science-backed, play-based education, workshops & speaking events.
Because every person deserves access to the tools that shape life to help us thrive, not just those who can afford therapy.
Learn more about upcoming speaking events & workshops for adults here.
