Tamar ruth has worked diligently to overcome an extremely troubled childhood to achieve [ first generation college graduate, district/state award winning teacher, veteran elementary school administrator, international education policy researcher/volunteer teacher at a school for street kids/orphans in South Africa, International Society of African Philosophy and Studies conference presenter @University of Johannesburg, South Africa and Howard University in Washington, DC, attendee at the World Conference Against Racism NGO Forum-Durban, recipient of State Department of Education Mentoring Award and community Social Momentum Impact Award; yet, above all this stuff she is just now learning to love. t.ruth is thrilled that her greatest accomplishment is also her greatest teacher her son, Lesole. FatherGod, MamaSpirit and BabyJesus factor prominently in t.ruth s latest life lesson of LOVE
also factored in this teachable-moment, is her lived-experience in schools spanning more than 40 years: from past student-at-risk to tenacious teacher; from being a parent participant to becoming a school-system-administrator; from a determined trauma survivor to a present Doctoral Candidate at the University of Maryland, UMD College Park; from a Head Start/latchkey-kid to lead of a locally held annual ChildrenzCrusade, t.ruth embodies constant elevation and core expansion. She has so much to share with all of us and hopes that we will triumph over our Post 2020 current and very clear vision of our Global Family s tragic-triad (intrapersonal, interpersonal and world-wide-huemanity), which t.ruth believes begins with restoring our cradle of civilization Africa. t.ruth believes the restitution and collective call to purge the poisonous principles of greedy racism is long over due. She is 100% ready, willing and able to make some good trouble for LOVE. Her insight into the inclusive nature of Black Excellence is a powerful principle, whose time has come to B.E. realized. (real eyes it)
Aside from her own PreK-12 achievements, against all odds, she holds multiple degrees/certifications in Early Childhood Education/Curriculum and Instruction; School Administration, Special Education, English as a Second Language and an Advanced Graduate Specialist Certificate in Education Leadership and Policy Studies from UMD, COE (College of Education). She is in her 26th year as an educator with one of the largest and highest performing school districts in the USA, but feels she may be very close to resigning
