Our Forever Parent Mentor

Edith Abakare, Atlanta City Public Schools

“I leave hope fueled by love and the collective power of sustainability. The partnership is a Game Changer, and we are all Agents of Change in communities across the state of Georgia. Together we will continue to make a difference.

I also leave my spiritual gifts of  prayer and steadfastness to the partnership, never allow the word No to startle you, instead use it as a motivator to press forward a Yes is just around the bend. God Speed to each of you.”

Edith Abakare

Edith Abakare has served as a parent mentor in one of Georgia’s largest school districts, sometimes solo, for 11 years. She distinguished herself as a Leadership Council chair and was honored as the 2016 Parent Mentor Phil Pickens Award recipient. Her future plans are to “focus on Asher’s future and seeking advocacy opportunities in Nigeria.”
