My name is Martha St. Jean and I am a speaker, writer, educator, and native New Yorker working in pursuit of social justice. I currently host live online workshops for educational professionals, non-profits, and corporations.
I am an avid researcher who helps individuals and organizations build their racial and identity literacy. I earned my M.A. Ed in Leadership at Bank Street College of Education, and completed my M.A. Ed in Secondary Inclusive Education/Special Ed at Teachers College, Columbia University. My goal is to continue working to provide a space in transforming how educators and students interact with and address the politics of schooling. I believe in the power of our stories, and that there is wisdom when working in a collective. I also have a Master of Science in journalism, from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, and a Bachelor of Science in Media and Communication Studies from New York University.
I am now working as the Associate Head of Middle School in NYC. Prior to becoming a Middle School Educator I served as a Senior Program Manager, for a national nonprofit, focused on getting students in and through college, utilizing the power of mentoring. I continue this work by serving as an advisor to a large nonprofit, and in my role as a Governing Board Member of America Needs You, an organization which offers intensive career development and leadership training to first-generation college students.
