Friday Night KickoffLindsey Fuller
|
Executive Director (she/her/sis) – A paradigm shifting leader and Restorative Practitioner, Lindsey is the embodiment of Angela Davis’ statement, “we must always attempt to lift as we climb.” Leading through genuine relationships and humor, Lindsey has an unmatched ability to see others’ innate gifts and reflect them back in ways that make room for each Teaching Well staff member and client to show up as their most favorite selves in service to their students, communities, and loved ones. A former teacher, school administrator, and district leader, she is highly skilled in navigating complex systems, with an eye towards strategic change management and communication cascades. Lindsey believes that in order to reach collective liberation, we must find ways to sustain adults in our schools to ensure trauma-sensitive continuity of care. With her fierce advocacy for folks on the margins, she builds human-centered, anti-racist systems to inform strong adult school climates. The daughter of two educators, Lindsey is a #HellaBay, Black and Indigenous “Panther Cub,” who fights with the strength of her ancestors behind her for the liberation of her own children and young people everywhere. | |
