Kelly possesses a depth of knowledge and commitment as an educator and advocate. She has the courage and willingness to engage in hard conversations that compel others to acknowledge and act upon acts of injustice with kindness and inclusivity. Most importantly, Kelly recognizes that diversity and inclusion are verbs that we must live and do everyday to allow all communities to thrive. Her work is sorely needed in classrooms, in school districts and beyond.

Kelly Yiadom is the voice of diversity, equity, and inclusion in education. She has the passion, expertise, and clarity of voice to inspire breakthrough shifts in the educational system. She engenders trust and has a proven record of catalyzing transformational community engagement to support the most vulnerable among us. Her Ted talk and the training session, “Parental superpowers to drive diversity in education,” left all in attendance energized, knowledgeable, and confident with clear, actionable steps to advocate for an equitable system that maximizes the potential of all children. I wholeheartedly endorse this exceptional educator, speaker, and transformational leader!

“Kelly is an articulate speaker who brings amazing passion and energy to every room she enters. Her knowledge and strong desire to encourage parents, educators and administrators to work together in an effort to normalize diversity and inclusion in a school are truly inspiring. After hearing her speak so enthusiastically about her journey motivating parents to use their collective voice, there wasn’t a person in the room who didn’t immediately see their own potential in helping make real changes in our school. She has a way of inspiring you to see possibilities.”

“Parents in our community were craving educational resources and a place to ask honest questions about raising our children with a more inclusive, realistic world-view, and for children of color to be better represented in their day-to-day school experience. Kelly created a space where parents and administrators can learn and work together to help shift the educational narrative at our school, and also be better equipped to incorporate these lessons and experiences at home.”
