Hi, I am Rosalind!

I am the founder of Unlocking Destiny and I help schools retain and attract Black teachers! Like the students you serve, the leader you are, or the school organization you have created, I represent a story, which highlights the need for more equitable and just educational spaces for Black students, leaders, or service providers. As a Black woman, I learned early what the necessary conditions were for me to thrive and I am on a mission to provide these qualities in all school organizations, so children and leaders of color can thrive, too. After all, they deserve it!

Are you a Principal, Director, or school manager who:

  • struggles to retain and/or attract Black teachers?

  • has tried methods of your own, but they are not working?

  • believe that Black students should have representation?

  • believe that Black teachers should be a part of an equitable workplace that centers belonging of Black teachers?

  • committed to the achievement of Black children?

Then the work of Unlocking Destiny is for you! My framework uses levers of strategic planning, coaching, training, and development in order to transform school cultures where Black teachers feel supported, that they belong and that they can access professional growth.
