Fahari is a passionate, charismatic, and experienced leader in School Climate and Culture. She specializes in Restorative Practices, Social-Emotional Learning, and Trauma-Informed Care and has a particular heart for equipping adults to take care of the hearts and minds of the youngest in the village. ​Fahari has well over a decade of school leadership, counseling, and restorative practices to her credit. 

Fahari frequently draws attention to the responsibility and privilege of working with and educating Black girls. Having seen how Black girls face more injustice and racist policy in education than any other race, her efforts serve to intentionally reinforce systems that are created to empower and uplift Black girls.

​Fahari's unique perspective as a transformative school leader and youth advocate in various settings including boarding and charter schools, youth detention and rehabilitation centers, as well as school district level positions informs her holistic insight. Her social work background (MSW) provides the framework for her approach, which has been refined and honed by practical experience and her passion to honor and uplift children and families. 

Fahari's dedication to honing spaces and people to be better for children extends beyond her work and into her own family; she is a D.C. native presently residing in suburban Baltimore with her husband and their four children.
