Kamarie Brown

is Changing How Schools Serve Communities

Education Advocate
Los Angeles, CA

This 20-year-old scholar is a Los Angeles native and student at Spelman College with a passion for ensuring education works for all communities and all students. Kamarie’s commitment to amplifying student voices in her community led to her election, at 17, to the student seat on the Los Angeles County School board, the second largest school district in the nation. As the first Black woman in the student seat, during her tenure, Kamarie authored resolutions-which passed unanimously-that impacted mental health, maternity support, and relied funding. Currently, she’s at work developing a non-profit to help bridge the equity gap in education.

  • "The present moment has pushed us all to answer the important questions of our time. How we choose to answer them will define our generation. Will Black students matter? Will we fully commit to creating schools that function as the keys to unlock a student's limitless potential?"
