Dear Fellow Africans,
I am compelled to share my personal journey, which has fueled my passion for creating inclusive learning environments. As a student with albinism in Nigeria, I faced numerous challenges, including bullying and discrimination from my teachers. However, I resolved to become a teacher, determined to create safe spaces for every student I teach. I realized that a lack of awareness about my condition contributed to the way I was treated, and I firmly believe that no student deserves such treatment.
As I sought to expand my awareness reach to benefit more students with learning challenges and diversity, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to virtual classrooms. I began teaching African diaspora students and was struck by their disconnection from their rich heritage and lack of knowledge about Africa. This experience strengthened my resolve to bridge this gap.
In response to these concerns, I founded Linking Circles Academy, which leverages technology to provide Afrocentric education that connects students to their roots while supporting their academic journey. Our school consultancy courses and training programs are tailored to equip educators in low income African schools with the necessary tools to recognize and support learning challenges and diversity, creating a nurturing environment for every student to thrive.
I warmly invite you to join us in shaping a legacy of inclusivity, academic excellence, and cultural pride. Together, we can create a brighter future for African students worldwide, one that celebrates their heritage and empowers them to reach their full potential.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Adams Oyarese
