Meet Lavonia

  • Comfortable with pets

I am Lavonia! I am a recent graduate of Howard University where I received my Bachelors in Political Science and African American Studies. I am using this year as my gap year while I apply to doctoral programs in the area. My passion is art; I paint, create films, and act. My goal is to liberate and educate people through the realms of art. I enjoy creating content inspired by the world and people around me. This helps create my passion for traveling and people. It helps me broaden my worldview, and inspire me! But I love working with kids! I believe that they are the future, and a lot of time must be invested in them. I have been working with children since I was about 16 years old, but I have been babysitting since I was as young as 11 years old. I have worked at many summer Read more camps and after school programs. Through the numerous jobs I have taught reading and science courses during summer camp, and I also conducted experiential learning classes where I took them on educational field trips.
