Angelita Gamble, M.Ed.

Founder and Executive Director

Angelita's Personal Community Message Hello everyone and welcome to DREAM!! I’m an educator, author, all around creative, and founder of this amazing initiative. I had wonderful public magnet school experiences growing up, which gave me many opportunities to explore my passions and interests. As I became an educator myself and experienced different school models, I felt like there were many missed opportunities for youth development due to the constraints of an already full curriculum. I wanted to help change that. The inspiration for DREAM came from my own desire to break out of the generalized box, explore more relevant topics that apply to the daily world we live in, and have the creative freedom to impact change. As an educator, working with kids and with adults that have a strong desire to make a difference is a true love and passion of mine. To see an individual discover something they didn’t even know was possible, is a magical thing to behold. There’s nothing quite like it, truly! Starting this nonprofit journey is terrifying and exhilarating! Seeing something I’ve dreamed about since I was a little girl coming to life in a very real way makes me incredibly humble and grateful for all the many people who have impacted me along the way. It takes a village to raise a child, and DREAM is a part of that village. The road isn’t easy by any means, but the possibilities for our children, and ourselves, are endless. It is my hope that this organization can help support fellow educators, families, communities, and our young people as we learn more about ourselves and our world. Thank you for daring to journey with us to empower the future generation! Angelita Gamble, M.Ed DREAM's Founder & Executive Director Author | Educator | Creative

Jazmyne Stephens, M.Ed.

Director of Youth Opportunities and Experiences

Jazmyne's Personal Community Message Heyy! Welcome to DREAM. My name is Jazmyne Stephens and I am a leader, coach, and life-long learner who believes in each child’s magic. As a child, explorations in other cities and countries, hands-on activities, and inquiry projects were some of the most impactful experiences during my educational journey and life. These opportunities deepened my ability to think critically and positively, engage with different people empathetically, and create fearlessly. Shaping the community by providing rich opportunities for kids is a passion of mine. Having worked in public schools for a decade and being a product of public schools myself, I’ve observed how external pressures can minimize integrity of quality experiences. Without hesitation, I am proudly Daring to Reimagine Education And Myself. We will boldly take responsibility for the next generation by challenging what is already being done. This isn’t coloring; it’s okay to purposely wander outside the lines. Welcome to DREAM where we intentionally provide purposeful, captivating, and individualistic learning experiences that prepare current and future children to thrive. I rebel with a purpose. Be a risk taker! Reimagine education. Challenge the programming. To strengthen our community, everyone must play their part. We thank you for supporting our initiative and hope you find your role in the DREAM. Jazmyne Stephens, M.Ed DREAM's Director of Youth Opportunities & Experiences Leader | Educator | Creative

Director of Communications and Community Engagement

Ashley's Personal Community Message DREAM is not just an acronym; it's a beacon of hope and change. It stands for "Daring to Reimagine Education and Myself," and that's precisely what we're here to do. We are a community committed to preparing the next generation to thrive as purposeful individuals in a world that is constantly evolving. I want to emphasize the importance of our mission. It's not just a lofty goal; it's a moral imperative. The current system only serves the needs of a select few, leaving countless others without the opportunities they deserve. As a former teacher to English learners, I saw how certain subgroups of students were not having needs met. We cannot stand by and accept this as the norm. Together, we have the power to create a transformative shift in education that uplifts the aspirations and potential of ALL. As a board member, I am honored to be a part of this incredible journey. But it's not about me or any individual; it's about us—the DREAM community. It's about our collective dedication, passion, and unwavering belief in a better future. I invite each of you to join us in this endeavor. Whether you're a student, a parent, an educator, or a supporter of our cause, your involvement matters. Together, we can make a profound impact on the lives of countless young individuals, setting them on a path to success and fulfillment. Thank you for being a part of the DREAM community. Your support, your dedication, and your dreams are what make all of this possible. With deepest gratitude and unwavering commitment, Ashley Crockett Mumini, M.Ed DREAM's Director of Communications & Community Engagement Board Member Empowering Learning Through Innovation & Equity
